Hahaha, what's with the last picture???

Nice buy man. Those Ducatis look real nice in person - pictures just don't do them justice.

Mind if I ask how much you paid?

last pic is a my lawnmower blenny from my tank

paid $12000 before tax and lic, got them to include a 4-year ducati warranty ($800), so effecitvely $11200 + $800 and they threw in the vented clutch cover and tshirt. the service there is great though, i wouldn't buy anywhere else. had a battery problem, they helped me out right away!

 

how does the ducati compare to the r6?

 

congrats man. i kinda like the old "horizontal" style headlights better. but that thing still looks good. how do you like it compared to your old r6?

my duc is geared differently, so it doesn't pick up as quickly off the line. once I get her up to about 3k+ she pulls really hard. but it's not all about straight lines

the way she corners is a world of a difference, you feel much more stable and spend more time cornering than you do thinking about the corner. on the 6, i had to actively think about the corner and lean into it, on my duc i move a little and the bike responds so much better.

I don't mind these, they're easier to work with. I need to pull the front off and retrofit my set of bixenons in when I finish it will be sweet

the termi on the duc is amazing...so deep and bassy, it sounds like a damn car with the vented clutch on the vtwin, you can hear the dry clutch too

i'll take a vid and post it tomm, don't want to wake up people tonight

$13k out the door

I have about 75% of the cash, but decided it isn't a bad idea to finance it. i hvae a credit rating of 731 right now, with this loan it should help when i try to buy a house. i don't mind spending the money on interest if it'll boost that credit rating, 4.5% fixed isn't bad either!

thanks

wait till i get my wide angle lens on ;p

 

nice bike. almost got a Ducati.

 

I have to say, though, you need to get rid of that biposto seat and at least the rear footpegs...! It'll give it a much cleaner look.

Are you missing the airbox cover? I thought that part was always covered...

there's a reason I bought the bi, and it wasn't to get rid of the footpegs

the airbox looks covered to me? dunno? which pic are you referring to

 

:jealous: I think the new style is beautiful. So much more refined than the 916. Congratulations.

N/M...the 749/999 don't come with painted airbox covers. Still looks the ****, though.

 

Termignoni *****

That is one the nicest looking bikes I've ever seen, congrats.

 

went riding the other day and thought my bike had a bad case of rod knock. nope, it was a cf 749 behind me at a stop.

ty! termingoni is the only way to fly

 

Absolutly SICK RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are now on my Hate list hahahaha DOPE MAN!!!

 

So how often does Ducati recommend adjusting the valves i heard its all the time. But its still worth it.........its a freakin Ducati................I still hate you hahahahaha

 

Nice bike, its gonna cost you a fortune when you have to do anything to it....my buddy went from his 03 gsx-r 750 to a ducati 999 and he said the duck was a slug and that he would never buy another one again, he said its more comfortable but it feel way more like a sport touring bike that a super-sport bike...he said its feels alot heavier, which made it feel more stable but was nowhere near as fun to ride....still a nice bike though

edit: i LOVE those headlights .....
