yeah they are slower, but you would be surprised how fast a "slow" sport bike is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

they can kill you just as fast.

It's a nice bike.

You said your not worried about being the fastest out there, which is good, because the bike has nothing to do with that...it's all about the rider.

Ok! Update. Went and got the bike today, washed her up and she is running GREAT. Does make a strange noise when I am touching the clutch, going to have that checked out. Anywho, what do you guys care about me blabbing...PICS!

Not totally sure that its the clutch, or actually anything at all. It shifts GREAT, need to get it looked at though.

I personally dont like the look of ducati's, well that one anyway, but I do hear they ride nice and you got some good info from jebus, who seems to be the man to talk too.

Edit, I need to read whole threads, lol!

Be safe out there and keep it clean! Hope its not the clutch. How much you pick it up for?

Nice bike, I hope you wear more gear while riding then you have on in the pic.

I dont' consider it a "rice-burner" its actually lower powered. I really do like harley's "hogs" but I can't afford one of those right now.

You know why Harley riders never wave at Rich Burners or Euro bikes?

Cause one hands on the throttle and the other is full of tool's:naughty:

Be honest with yourself. Ask yourself can I really ride it wide open? Can I drag my knee? Do I know how to stop a high speed wobble?

95% of the riders out there will say No. So it's a matter of looks, Price, and fit.

It's not the clutch, Its a Ducati and thats how they sound. Having owned a 748R and a 888 its just the way there built.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll just answer straight out as I'm not too good at the whole quote and then answer thing.

I really haven't ridden it very far at all yet. I won't ride anywhere without full gear. I really love my brain and plan to keep all of it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif My fiance took that picture with me moving it to the truck to take it home (was about 45ft.)

4500 total (tax,title etc)

I went to a Ducati forum and found out that, yeah, it just is supposed to sound like a bunch of pennies in a blender LOL. Dry clutch and no clutch cover. They say I will love the sound soon enough. If I hate it , I can put a cover over it.

NICE BIKE! I like it alot, and thats a pretty good price, how many miles are on it?

 

[Pl8er 5,000+ posts]
