i dont know about differences but i can spot the similarities, they both look boring as bat s@#t,
so bland and uninspired, just like every other plastic fantastic on the market (although the duc is carbonfibre fantastic)

It would be ALOT more than $40 000.
I thought I saw a US price of $60k or $70k for the Ducati.....

The main attraction of the "retro" bikes is their price and this is understandable in today's economy. The marketing has been excellent with these bikes too, and the purchasers rarely twig to the fact that they are buying outdated frame designs, shock absorbers and a host of other outdated "retro" embellishments that modern sports bikes have left far far behind.
I'll take a full fairing, an alloy frame and a mono-shock anyday.

you mean something that falls apart at the first signs of any sort of impact and becomes a stat wrieoff because the plastics cost sooooo much to replace,
had lots of plastic wrapped crotch rockets and always more trouble than thay are worth, and cost twice as much to insure for a hell of a lot less bike
just remember 'modern' does not always mean 'better'

let's not forget sluglie, that u ride one of the best bikes on the market.
where would you be if there weren't any sports bikes without fairings? (lets face it, that's what the zrx's are)
would you really choose a cruiser? or a boring commuter? nuh. u got the best of both worlds IMO. personally i like one world better, even with the disadvantages.
