In regards to the stretched chassis, and front rake as I mentioned. Of course with 162 HP I can understand the need for both.

Personally, this is more my style:

The Diavel in the first pics looks to me like it would leave a nice stripe of brown water on your back the first time you get caught in a rainstorm. I know a lot of the young guys like the bobbed tail look, but I'm not crazy about it.

I sold my 919 about two years ago, but I've been really fighting the urge to pick up one of these:

I've always wanted a Harley but the sporting side of me wouldn't allow it. When they brought this bike (XR1200) to the US market it really caught my eye and I just can't shake it! A Sportster with fully adjustable suspension, a tuned 1200, and cornering clearance!

The XR1200 got some upgrades this year, although the Orange seems to be gone (regretably)

I got to see the whole Ducati line up for 2011 last month. The 848 is a very nice bike. The Diavel, for sure is a strange looking piece but thats what i thought about the Hayabusa's when they first came out. Im now on my 3rd one. I figure if its going fast enough, nobody will know what it really looks like anyway :lol:.

Yeah, I definetly dig the orange. I'm thinking of picking up a gently used one; it seems if you try you can get one for around 7-8k.
