Default why should I NOT want this bike?




i'm in absolute love. So what's the downfall of this bike?

If I end up staying in America, then I will own one by the end of the year...

ready for wut? YOU'RE the one "wanting" a ducati.....i already has me one. and yellow makes you a poof....its like buying a yellow ferrari.

-in all reality, if i had the $$$$$....... i would rather a 999R. probably build a sick machine for around $15-18K. i can't put reasons down in this post, you'll have to spend about 4 hours with the bike and set it up propa like. its by far the most adjustable machines ever made, its got 160HP, better brakes, its a shade under 380LBS. period.

horrible for street: slow, vibrates like a ****, mirrors vibrate, slow-turning is painful because your fingers will hit the upper when clipons fully turned.

I love the 848. If I had the money, I'd get one. I'll settle for a 06 gsxr-750 @ half the price, and more performance.

For this reason he needs the bike. Expensive, elite, and more bike than he'd ever be able to handle. ****, he should have learned to ride his Kawi before moving up to the 675...but then again, he's going for the street cred' anyways. Man.

... because you can't do anything with that hunk of sheet metal that you can't already do with your Daytona. It would be a complete waste of money. But, I'm sure you would look SO [freak]ING COOL BRAAAA!!!

Haha, my buddy and I saw about 4 of them against the wall at our local Ducati dealership in Brea, CA. I fell in love with the white one and so did he. Now that I see they have yellow I wish I would have got one instead of my CBR, but I dont have deep pockets. I think he's going to sell his 750SS Duc and get one
