Some duke v4 https://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/ducati-panigale-v4-no-fairings/ And https://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2018-ducati-panigale-v4-speciale/ With bike new sales dropping off a cliff, low £ and brexit and few new motorcyclists and insurance prices rising because of police letting bikes being stolen , it's a perfect storm ! |

Claire Raynor had winglets.
Didn't make her much sexier did it ha ha I do like the idea in principle, and when I first saw the pics of the Ducati top fairing with similar appendages, made to get round the wing ban a while back, I liked it initially. As it's an area that deserves development. That's until I saw it race and when in perspective to the rest of the bike! Still, function over form and all that. Are they missing a trick not to make them act as frame sliders/crash pads as well? Then insurance companies won't be writing bikes off for falling over and have more money to pay out for all the nicked ones? |

I don't like the look of the winglets at all. I'm ok with them on a race bike if they are legal and improve the performance but they are totally unnecessary and frankly ugly on a road bike.

I thought it was just a place to keep your coffee cup whilst polishing How many will aprilia sell ? Did they only sell 20 in the uk in 2017 ? Ducati is beloved of rich celebrity bikers, so will sell....lots. |

The side view's not too bad, but that front view.... Hey big ears..where's Noddy?
Worth remembering I suppose that the Gen 1 fairing ears and headlight were a bit Marmite back then. |

Every person who's mate buys one will have to hear the huge differed the winglets make and we all know they are just going to be bullsh*tting! |
