What's wrong with this guy (see his Ducati here MotorcycleUSA.com) ripping Bonnevilles?

"...Products of this disingenuous attitude are such truly awful motorcycles as the Kawasaki W650 and the breathtakingly ugly and nauseatingly dull Triumph Bonneville. Fat boring bikes, with styling taken straight from the "Supersize-Me Fat Club Yearbook" do not excite, or even interest, me. What these young designers forget is that we too were young once - and lusted after Manx Nortons and Gold Stars, not emasculated concrete mixers on two wheels..."

Does he EVEN know what he is talking about? "Fat" in describing a Bonneville???

Definitely not handling his increasing age very well based on his numerous references to the "young".

By the way, does he LIKE the Ducati or not?? Can't figure his article out.
