Ducati = = Jap bikes


Piss on Ducs. I am not about to pay some pimple-faced jackass to adjust EVERYTHING on my nasty, rattley, dry-clutched bike every 5000 miles just so I can pose pretty.

I'd sooner own an Exxon Valdez-esqe Triumph before I spent a dime on a Duc.

that bikes much sexier in my opinion, similiar price range though. Bit expensive.
Yeah, I actually got a quote from a magazine about the MV Agusta that I always remember "...Rarer than understanding bank managers..." I think you get the idea

For everyone who says that Japanese bikes are so much faster then Duc's:
Bikes today are so incredibly indentical that the bike itself has nothing to do with it, it all comes down to the rider anyways. When it comes to maitnence, Japanese bikes win hands down. But as far as performance, an awesome rider on a 500 will tear up someone on a liter bike every day on a twisty track.

When I say performance, I mean that I've heard so many stories of Ducs breaking down that I just don't know anymore. I'm also tired of hearing about them not being as capable as the other sportbikes (In other words, I agree with you 100% YellowMaranello). But I am a big Ducati fan myself to tell you the truth.

That's the fastest one I could find. Does Ducati make a faster one?
There's the 998, 998S, and 998R. There's also the new 999, 999S, and 999R

Re: Ducati 996 R

You guys that think a GSXR750 is a better bike than a 996 are just high. They don't handle as well, and aren't built to the same quality level. Are they faster in a straight line, possibly, but that doesn't make it a better bike. How many GSXRs are competitive in WSB? A BUSa doesn't stand a chance on a racetrack next to a 996-998 with equal riders aboard. Apples and oranges as far as bike design goes. Japanese liter bikes offer higher performance at a lower price in most cases, but it doesn't make them "better" bikes. Better value, yes. The 996 didn't get voted motorcycle of the century just because it's pretty. But there hasn't been a Jap bike yet that looks half as good IMO.
