I have a 1000rr fireblade and a Ducati 749. They are completely different riding experiences - you need to choose if you want to ride an Italian V twin or something else. It is only my personal opinion BUT Ducati's are V twin race bikes fitted with road equipment..........there is nothing quite like riding a Ducati. The Honda provides a different riding experience.........I use it for long journeys , holidays etc. The Duc is just for fun as it really does distill biking into an something special. If you want a Duc sportsbike then the choice is simple...pre or post 999 design. Whatever you have - you will enjoy it |
