| when i first bought a ducati (916 bip) i also rode an aprilia for comparison and the aprilia did feel good and i was sure i could go quicker on that than the duke. it was also better value.
but getting off the aprilia back at the dealer and seeing the ducati; there was no choice. it just has that x factor. it has history, racing pedigree and something you just cant put your finger on. i think that is true for alot of ducati owners. its not just about the quickest, lightest or cheapest bike. otherwise we'd all be on jap crap.
for some they will never understand the feeling you get riding a ducati, or being part of a club like this.
what ever decision you make. enjoy. |
