I’ve wanted a Ducati superbike my entire life. In my 20’s I desperately wanted one. A couple weeks ago I realized I can easily afford one now. Unfortunately my wrists, neck, and back can’t afford that seating position anymore.
I rode my neighbor’s Harley the other day and I was so bored. I’ll never understand slow heavy bikes. I mostly ride dual-sports now. They’re wicked in the twisties.
The phrase that always comes to mind for me is “Oh, it’s just a Harley.” There’s a huge world of other bikes out there that are way more interesting. I turned a friend on to sport touring bikes, now he’s got two Kawasaki Councours and a Honda ST1100 (among other things).
Those are fun bikes! I’ve ridden both of them and enjoyed them, even when I was younger and all about crazy. I’ve been thinking about getting a Ducati Scrambler for a few years now. That isn’t a sport touring, and not really related to your comment, I’m just sharing my thoughts. :)

There’s a lot to be said for going fast on a slow bike.

Ducati Diavel
What even is that? It looks like a beefed up Ducati Monster.
