[Ducati] British mag "Bike" 1098 review - Ouch!...

[m&m]

The US mags wouldn't consider loosing one single dollar in advertising if 
they angered a manufacturer.  Don't let the review change your opinion. 
Consider any Ducati in any shootout and it's never come close to Japanese 
raw numbers.  If that's all your after, the money is spent better elswhere. 
My 748  was spanked by all the 6's and my 900ss couldn't beat my FZR400, but 
no one got weak in the knees looking at them..  Plastic massed produced or 
this

(office safe).  Probably high maintenence too, but easy on the eyes.  Chrome 
rockers, so what.  It's Italian and speaks the language of love.  Or you can 
buy a massed produced refrigerator.  Who cares about the reviews.
