2002 I got Max - love the look, the sound, the ride, how the engines works and behaves, hate all those jap type revs and I can be lazy with gear changes.
Won't buy another bike, hold no interest for me.

I do like the 748/916 looks too - however they are way too tall for me.
Actually I find it lower than the monster. I love everything about ducati. It was the 916 that did it and Carl fogarty that lured me to dream of one day have one. I did it the monster way with 900 and then s4 and now also a 748 and it means I fulfilled my dream. Love em and my partner understands how the ducati thing overtakes and friends develop from it.
Fantastic
