I'm genuinely interested to see how this fares against the Panigale.

Unsure of rider potential tho so who knows.

I wonder if the Americans know which kind of Indians they are Mr. Green

Buell can't possibly have sold his soul in the way he did to Harley, so the money from Hero has to be a positive even if there are small strings attached.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Won't stand much of a chance against the 'gale. Purely as it's had an extra couple of years worth of development.

The current regs suit the 4s down to a T. Ducati/Buell would be better off "doing a Honda" and just building an IL 4 if they want to win.

I'm wondering if releasing the Superleggera had anything to do with helping Ducati's WSBK bike
