Oh no, don't think that ducatis are reliable for a second, my wife's monster just fried a chassis wiring harness with 3k on it, never spent a night out side, rarely seen weather of any sort, nevermind salt. It's not that they're more reliable than a harley, just cooler.

doesnt get more 'merica than Carol Shelby running your japanese red white and blue race effort!

A Ducati is not comparable to a Harley.

Ducati's are not a good DD. They are a mass produced motorcycle with the complexity, tolerances and maintenance requirements of a Ferrari. To complicate this (since it's so mass produced) there is a ready supply of sub-par aftermarket replacement parts. . . many of these are Chinese manufacture. Find a Ducati trained Ducati mechanic at a Ducati dealership and put him in your will.

Also, I am not a fan of Harley Davidson. I did, however, find this news piece interesting.

The success of the Ford HD Edition F150 and the power of the Harley V-Rod has inspired Ford to produce a V-Rod edition of their popular Ford "Lightning" high performance sport truck.

Sources say that the new HD edition Ford Lightning will have a Porsche engine under the hood and that the heads will be stamped "Made in France".

I like cafe'd old rice.

So, it'll have a Porsche engine?

1. What engine is that?
2. Seems like a really long swingarm...?

"With 'murica-colored 250 cc jap bikes and a carefully paired helmet?"

Speaking of 'Murica, Harleys now have more Chinese made parts than Hondas do
