It's a bit too 'bling'.

^^^^^ This ^^^^^

The colours are wrong for a Ducati,surely it should be red or some variation of the tricolour.
It looks like it's owned by someone into tasteless gangster tat

Black/Gold was a 70s 900ss colours wasn't it?

But other than the colour which I quite like, it's all a bit OTT for me. More understated and I think I might like it.

Liquid cooled engines just don't bloody work for this style of bike.

Make the frame a more muted, satin gold and lose the red bits and I'd quite like that.

I agree on the red bits, to me they don't work. Just black/gold would have been fine.

I like that. It looks a bit uncomfortable for more than 5 mins posing, but I like it.

I'd lose the red but it's sweet otherwise.

Nah, too much plumbing on display. Be better with a fairing.

I really like that, looks actually usable too despite all the “look at me” bling.

Be even better once they put some oil in the engine ;)
