Very nice, maybe a black swinging arm would balance the bike better.

Looks worse than any standard Ducati I've ever seen.

Yes and no, I don't like the seat or the exhaust

I don't like the shiny clutch cover and I'm with HB84 on the swingarm.
Re: SBK #4: WALT SIEGL’S LATEST DUCATI SUPERBIKE IS HIS BEST YET
I’m not seeing the point of that, it’s a tuned sports bike with a jarringly fitted headlight that is too big and doesn’t match anything else. If they wanted a single round one the at least fit a smaller one.

Perhaps it's because I'm not a massive Ducati fan in the first place that I really like it!!

Re: SBK #4: WALT SIEGL’S LATEST DUCATI SUPERBIKE IS HIS BEST YET
looks unbalanced to me, lardy at the front and minimalist at the rear. Like Potter says, not as good looking as standard Ducatis.
Give me an 888 SP5 or a Panigale V2 anytime.

I rest my case, in my mind it's a Ducati thing, you're either a fanboy or you're not - I don't think for a moment that the origami job there is better. And I'm a fan of the MTs so I don't mind a few angles!
Good job we're all different!!

Re: SBK #4: WALT SIEGL’S LATEST DUCATI SUPERBIKE IS HIS BEST YET
We are all spoiled and maxed out with quality gear. Not so long ago this bike would have seemed like a spaceship,now we are blasé and largely hard to please. I used to think Bimota based bikes were the ultimate in looks and performance,now they just look goppingly fugly.
I'm another who is fairly indifferent to all things Ducati and while there are things I don't like about the bike,it isn't that bad.
Probably not what a custom builder would want to hear. It's visually interesting and provokes opinion,but I don't want it at all.

Re: SBK #4: WALT SIEGL’S LATEST DUCATI SUPERBIKE IS HIS BEST YET
I'm not a Ducati fan-boi otherwise I'd have one, I just think that one has been aimed at the Shoreditch/LA crowd and it's trying way too hard, the Italian designers that did the original made something fairly timeless, every standard Ducati that I can think of looked right in it's day right and still does now, whereas this fashionable art piece is just different for the sake of being different, it hasn't improved on the original - which is IMHO what modifying bikes was all about.
Of course I know that's my personal preference and other people will think differently, but I'm really struggling with a modified Ducati that looks worse than it did when it rolled off the production line.
Re: SBK #4: WALT SIEGL’S LATEST DUCATI SUPERBIKE IS HIS BEST YET
I'd echo a few others opinions and say that, IMHO, it looks a bit, gash..
Admittedly I'm not a Ducati man, I've always found them to be a bit to pretty for my taste, (although I've a sweet spot for the V4R)
Capable and exotic In the same was a ferrari is, but I'd perfer a tatty group B quattro if I had the cash for either.
I can see this bike being ridden up Mulholland Drive with it's pilot sporting a fine moustache and questionable clothing.

What is it with the trend to mount a Morris Minor headlight to a half decent looking bike????

The rounded fairing simply doesn't work with the hard angles on the tank!
