At this point the tides are turning on the 999 range of Ducati. No longer is every article covering the bike obligated to make a derogatory comment about the looks. Those comments are old hat as many agree the 999 has aged very well over the years. One could say confidently that it was far…
If you were to walk around and ask people what the most beautiful motorcycle was in the world, you probably will get a majority to say the Ducati 916, and they would have a point. But you also will get people to mention the MV Agusta F4/3 bikes. The MV Agusta will stop you in…
