I had a speed triple for a few years and went out for a test ride on a Daytona 595, the salesman I was following was on a secondhand (but expensive) 748R. When we stopped to turn round and ride back I'd already decided to buy the 595. I asked to ride the 748 back, well, by the time we were back at the triumph dealership I'd changed my mind. "Nah - I'll wait 'til I can afford a Ducati"

There really is no comparison.

Welcome Duc Daz. ;)

I remember when I got my first Duc, an 851, still got it and hope I'll never have to sell it. I spent as much time sitting on a stool (with a bier in my hand of course) looking at it as I did riding it. When I was riding it..well, I don't need to tell the converted:smug:

Have fun. They get into your blood:devil:

Welcome duc daz!
After my first Ducati (a 748SP),I decided to go for something a little newer.Although I was really happy with my SP,I just wanted to try what,at the time,was the latest in the way of Japanese fours (a '98 R1).
Although I couldn't deny it was a quick bike,I found it TOTALLY souless and with ZERO character.So,within a few months,I was back on a Ducati (748 SPS this time).Immediately,I knew I'd made the right choice to return to the Italian way....
Although ownership of a GSXR750 (that was bought for trackdays) also featured,nothing has ever tempted me back to Jap fours.Sure they are quick,but isn't there more to it than that?
Enjoy your new bike :bouncy:
