| Jap bikes are designed to be easy to operate in the same way as a Ford Mondeo is easy to drive. It's ok up to a point but, if you want something with a bit more depth....... A Ducati is more involving - I'll never own a Jap bike again.
I bought my 800ss racer from a guy who had just passed his test. He always liked the look of a Ducati and he bought it immediately after passing his test but, he just couldn't get on with it and put it up for sale after a year and just 800 miles...his telling comment was along the lines of "you can't ride it like you can drive a car, the engine chugs too much (!!!!!) - you have to pay attention".
Sums it up really. |
