My son sell Ducati bikes. This is a copy of a post by him last week.

But they sell and the industry needs sales. If you personally are not buying one I don’t see the concern. Beauty isn’t in the eye of the beholder, particularly in Andy’s case.....

I totally agree. Each to their own. I just can’t get over the price.

Imagine what a great car you could have instead for that money....

Bikes used to be a cheap form of transport, but sadly no longer.

Dead right. It's all very well saying that they're part of the overall sale of bikes but at £22k a pop (and the top model is £35k....!) they're not part of the mainstream sales. At this rate bikes will only be affordable to the "lifestyle" conscious and the rest of us will be hanging on to the old 'uns because we can't afford to shell out the price of a family saloon on our 2 wheeled fun.

Divide by 7 and you get roughly £23,000. You aren't going to get a very impressive car for that sort of money, are you?

Give me that £23k and I'll buy one of these:
