I've seen these things at bike shows and always wondered "what demographic is this company's marketing department aiming at?" Now I know - people who have Napoleonic Syndrome AND money to burn. But what I don't know is what that thing is doing on a cafe racer thread. Can you imagine trying to cafe a two ton pig like that??

A cafe racer[1] (/ˈkæff reɪsər/kaff racer)[2][3][4] or (Ca-phay racer),[5] is a term used for a type of motorcycle, as well as the motorcyclists who ride them. Both meanings have their roots in the 1960s British rocker or ton-up boy subculture, although the type of motorcycles were also common in Italy, France[6] and other European countries. The term, which originally arose as an insult from motorcycle enthusiasts towards riders who they thought were playing at being a road racer but merely parked outside cafes,[7] refers to a style of motorcycles that were and are used for fast rides from one transport cafe[8][9] or coffee bar to another.[10]

That may be more Ducati than most ....

/opinion on/

Cafe Racers are modified bikes... not something you buy at the store.

/opinion off/

That said, the "new" Ducati is a nice lookin bike, but... it's new. Course, I know nothing about Ducati's, so take that for what its worth.
