    If it doesnt sound like a duc, then it aint a duc. I hope they dont ruin the duc brand with this.

    Maybe call it "Soycati'

    Lol Ducati can’t figure out electronics on regular street bikes without failing. Can’t wait to see the massive warranty backlog.

    the good news is that dealers won’t have to replace non stop fuel level sending units daily now.

    Maybe they'll do the speaker system to make it sound like a real bike :crackup:

    It needs a wicker basket on the handlebars and pink tassels out of the grips.

    And my little pony stickers too!

    Electric Bike Racing:

    The good: You don't need to start the motor

    The Bad: You can't pick it up if you fall, so the above is worthless!

    Possibly? First one I remember is the 4 banger Mustang. I’d bet half the people with those cars don’t realize they are listening to a soundtrack.

    The Prius started in 2010 with the fake noise for blind pedestrian safety, not sure when the others started

    Wait! That's a thing? I guess I'm losing my technological edge. I can just slide a new tape into my 8 track player and it will be just like I'm driving a blown hemi?

    wonder what that means (if anything) for him taking the MotoAmerica ride

    Why would it mean anything? I keep seeing this brought up, and I don't think it's going to be a thing. KTM has no stake in superbike racing, so it has no need for a competition clause. Do any Dakar races and MotoAmerica races clash dates? Because that would be the only actual reason for an issue.

    I revisited the article to better answer this and I am now thinking him to MA is dead :

    "For sure, either I do one thing or the other since both projects are supported by manufacturers so I can’t go around in an orange and red T-shirt (laughs). So, we will have to wait and see what happens.”

    They should be able to... different projects.

    Like how announcers are on different networks now

    Except announcers can't really get hurt unless they eat their microphone..so yeah back to one manufacturer
