Having followed many of the mentioned series here for many many years, I will say that I dislike the current bikes and their 'winglets'. I totally get the advancement in technology, however I am much prefer the look of the bikes without them. I think from a style perspective, the early iterations of the Ducati Desmosedici from 2002 - 2003 were just pure sex. Such a elegant and beautiful form. I've always wanted to own a Desmosedici RR when they came out but the prices were out of reach. I have recently come across some examples that were priced within my reach but it would likely be more of an investment now. I couldn't bring myself to ride it knowing that the parts alone for it cost an arm and a leg.
