Really? Ducati sells fewer smallbore Monsters than Suzuki sells SV650's these days? I find that exceedingly difficult to believe.

Especially since there technically is no SV650 any more...:-) But I strongly suspect that Ducati has averaged a fair number fewer Monster sales than Suzuki has SV-650/Gladius each year. Besides the price difference, there are just fewer Ducati shops around, at least as I recall seeing 'em. And I see a helluva lot more SVs than little Monsters on the road, too. Bob M.

Don publicly said he'd start it up again whenever he felt like it, and he so he does. Strange mentality.
