I think it may have originated here, Flip - https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/thread...-maoggi.82130/

Someone using some artistic licence with an old black and white print! Incidentally, despite his obvious penchant for cigarettes, Maoggi only passed away in April 2019.

Rob, do you happen to know for certain if the bods from Ducati (UK and/or Bologna) ever drop in to this website to find out what current owners actually think, especially about new models when they are launched?

No .....I doubt the Gods from Bologna would deem us mere mortals opinions fit for their pleasure ,,, we must bow down and grovel to their exalted delusions ..

They do, which is why I didn't hold back.. Hopefully they will take note of the common sentiment?

Unlikely as their target market is not dyed in the wool traditional monster owners, they are aiming at buyers who are not yet Ducatisti. Get them on a high spec, light nimble Monster and they’ll be hooked to the brand.
