Us airheads aren't going to hold that against you Darren, even if we do have our personal preferences.
A naked 90 deg v-twin Ducati is a thing of deep beauty, no matter what form it takes.
And yes, the bikes seem to attract the nice people, don't they ?
I've made many friends as a result.
I too pondered a raptor for a while but to be honest, if you're going to get that close you might as well get a real Ducati.
Similarly I also pondered an Aprilia Shiver but even though the name is a homonym for the closest I get to a religious icon, it wasn't enough to sway me even a teensy bit.
Being realistic though, I was smitten since falling for the 750 bevels in the early 70s and from that point (february 1974, dragon rally to be precise) there was never going to be another bike that would scratch my itch.
