Ducati 996 R

Ducati's are the sweetest bikes ever. Check out these pics:

^996 R Engine (135 HP @ 10,200 RPM & 101 NM @ 8000 RPM)

^996 R 3/4 View

Damn, that is one sweet and damn fast bike. That's the fastest one I could find. Does Ducati make a faster one?

I personally feel that since GSXR750's are faster, handles better, cost less to maintain, cost less to buy, definately would make it a better buy. But if poseur qualities are all that is important to you than you should be happy.

Is it true that a Hayabusa can go up to 200mph? If so why does it so cheap? Or is that an expensive price for a bike?

They are limited to 186mph now, but the first production year they were tested to about 191mph.

Smile You gotta love a Ducati

The Italian stuff is nice, and the Suzukis are fast as hell, but as far as my likes, the CBR 900 is the best of the bunch. But thats just me.
