You’ve said above that “no-one here can ride any of their bikes to the full potential or even 90%.... but it’s all about fun”. So are you saying that everyone is going to have more fun on a Japanese bike than on a 748? I can’t believe that is true because there ARE people that choose to ride a 748 over a big Japanese bike, precisely because market forces set a higher price on the 748.

Of course i'm not expecting to be in the majority.....

And of course, no i'm not saying you can't have fun on a 748 but only on a Jap 1000..... However.... i'm not like so many on here totally closing my mind to the possibility that Jap bikes can give everything a Ducati can (and more IMO).

As for the Market forces and prices.... well if i were to be harsh, that's because Ducati are Iconic machines, and their label is what people pay for, not the performance or the bike.
