I saw one of those new Duc Street Fighters yesterday while I was at a bike show in Tampa.

It might be fast, it might be exotic, it definately is expensive....

And OMG is it freaking FUGLY!!!

Even the hopelessly Euro-centric Motorcyclenews referred to it as looking like a "crashed 1098".

I like it.

"looks like a crashed 1098"
Didn't the whole trend start with people stripping the broken plastics from crashed sportbikes, adding standard/dirtbike bars and a minimalist headlight/flyscreen, and calling it a "streetfighter"?

Huh, I like it and they loved it in one of the mag tests I just read.

I think it's a good looking bike. Not worth the price of admission, but a good looking bike.

It looks like the Borg assimilated the factory....the appearance goes way beyond form over function....it is dischordant like a 3 year old at the keys of a pipe organ...like an ugly woman in Gucci shoes...like a 300 pounder in a thong...that bike should never be seen naked in public.

It most likely is smooth and sexy to ride...jumps to your inputs and begs for more...but not to be seen with in public.
