| If it must be a ducati then IMHO go for an ST or some sort. A good alrounder with something to keep the wind off
Maybe a monster.
What are you going to use the bike for.
A lot of commuting year round?
The odd cummute but mainly a fun weekend toy?
Fun weekend toy and leap into trackdays ASAP?
You will be lucky if you don't drop the thing, even if its wheeling the thing round. the more bodywork you have on the bike the bigger the damage might be.
How long do intoend to keep the bike, chopping and changing bikes costs money.
Insurance costs can be horrendous for newbies depending on the bike. Get a quote before you buy.
How confident do ya feel??
I hope I'm not going over stuff you have done already.
Don't rule out a H0nda or something else. SV650, Older CBR 600s, Hornets,
I know of someone who took their direct access and bought a 998r, each to their own.............................
so many bikes so little time!!
