[Ducati] 1.2 litre bike coming soon

[the Kid]

 Hey that's kool. People have different tastes. I am sure that the DSS has 
some advantages the SSS doesn't, and visa versa. I just like the look, when 
it comes to performance it may well be inferior to a DSS, however Ducati 
seemed to do well with it while they ran it.
  I dont care for the stacked foglights. lol@ train headlight, good 
comparison. I love my 998, being it has the testastretta motor with the 
timeless (IMO) styling of the 916 9xx..... but hey if we were all alike, 
life would be boring.
