You could be conflicted looking at this picture from – where else – the USA, of a rider on a Ducati Desmosedici MotoGP replica road bike. The guy – expensive Arai Red Bull paint job – is riding his Ducati Desmo on the roads, in the traffic, which has to be a good thing, right? It's a bike, not an investment or a museum piece or some wanky 'piece of motorcycle art'.

Thanks to "Dave" from the USA for the pic.
