You just don't like the new Tron movie, that's all. Besides, Ducati was also used in the Matrix Reloaded in their chase scene, a 998 if I remember correctly.

Ummm, that was less about running from the cops and more about Ducati showing up a BMW. Just saying. Notice the logo placement in the shots...

Be careful about linking the manufacturer of a bike and how movie makers decide to use a bike. Doing so results in a less than flattering picture for your brand of choice. If it were a movie featuring Harleys the rider would more likely be murdering cops instead of just running from them.
