I got three main reasons that I like my TA.
#1 Its light enough to handle around parking lots and in tight areas.
#2 its very nimble as in it handles above my riding skill (on more than one occasion i just held on and it pull through)
#3 I am not looking to die at 200 miles per hour. Just ride around at 90. (which it does quite nicely.)
#4 Its a modern (kind of) bike with classic (kind of) looks.


Its the past and the future combined to make some thing not quite as good as either.



Exactly the reasons why I like my BA too, Chad.

Except, I don't think one could say a DOHC twin cylinder air-cooled motorcycle is exactly "futuristic", 'cause Honda has been makin' THOSE since the 1960s, ya know.

This Diavel is a bike unto its self...Its not sporty or cruiser-y...



And this is where I think you're wrong. The Diavel is EXTREMELY "sporty", as once again, from the article I read in that magazine about this bike, it's one of the fastest bikes Ducati makes, stops better than any bike Ducati makes, and handles almost as well as any world-class Sportbike that Ducati makes.

I just think you fall into this general demographic around here...people who are mostly into "classic" looking motorcycles, and who often seem to have a small problem wrappin' their heads around anything outside that box.

(...NOT that that makes you or anybody around here "a bad guy" or anything!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
