I saw one of these on campus today and it has given me a new goal. Ducati owns.

123 hp @9750rpm V-twin. 998cc "Testastretta" engine. Fuel injected.





WOWZERS!

Sads thing is that bike is $18k and a GSX-R 750 will out perform it in just about every way and it is half the price.

 

It's so foxy though!! Come on!

 

Looks sexual, but I mean, so does every bike

Well maybe not motards..

 

it looks pretty good but its really heavy, when its on its kickstand its really far over and scary when putting it back down to the ground and the seat is uncomfortable

 

that is a beautiful bike. if i owned it, i wouldnt leave it in a college parking lot to get stolen.

that baby would be in the living room

 

and the duc has a $600 valve job every 3k miles.

 

I agree with that, but its like what people say in the kills forum when a Honda takes out a really exotic car...

"Yeah, but youre still driving a Honda..."

 

Ducatis...

I'd get a 'Jap' bike before that Italian POS anyday...

Now Aprilia's and MV's are a whole different story.

 

Steve,
was your insurance rate lower with the Duc? Ive heard that since the bike aims toward an older, more mature audience, that they yield lower insurance rate.

how much did you pay for the 748?
