Spy Photos: 2011 Ducati Vyper performance cruiser

I have a dream. In that dream, the American public isn’t so lame that formerly credible motorcycle makers like Ducati and Yamaha have to pander to it with ridiculous performance cruisers that look like they’ve ridden straight off the pages of a Marvel comic book. In that dream no self respecting adult would be seen dead on what’s clearly a children’s toy; a bike that will look out of place unless you wear your underwear over your pants and tie your blanky around your shoulders as a pretend cape. Sadly, that’s just a dream, because the 2011 Ducati Vyper has been spied undergoing final development testing in Italy and will likely be launched at EICMA this fall.
