No matter what Ducati says, that's still a 240 rear tire.

So, why would a true riding enthusiast want this "thing"? The answer is that the true enthusiasts wouldn't touch it with a 10-ft pole. The wannabes that don't want to ride American or Japanese cruisers are going to be the ones buying this "thing".

Two wheel equivelant of a porsche cayenne
