Newbie too
 

Currently have a ktm 950 smr - I am looking for a Ducati sportsbike either 999s or 749r. Never had a sportsbike before so figured I d go for the best! Some interesting stuff on the 749r particularly sharpie's carbon adventures!
Sorry quick edit to buy a round at the bar:)

Welcome!

What do you think of the KTM? I have the Ducati equivalent, the Hypermotard 1100S and it's the best bike I've ever owned!

Luckily I also have the 748 sportsbike (when it's not in lots of bits!) to play with as well.

welcome aboard

where are you based - get out and meet a few who ride them is a great way to decide which way to go
