I'm sorry to see that you made that choice! Even my old '94 FZR 1000 would WAX a 916. I'd hate to see what an R1 would do to that[puke]
It will [spank] it! |

I've heard that those Ducati's are the vehicle most likely to be stolen. Any truth to that?

Well, I'm not sorry at all!...hehe...I knew this would come up! It all boils down to what you want... Well, if I was going for speed/accel I would have bought a R1. If I was racing I would have bought a R1. If I was wanting a cheaper bike...I would have bought a R1.
...The Duc is a finely crafted machine and is FANTASTIC in the corners...that is why I wanted it. Owning and riding a Duc is about more than just speed! ...one day you'll get it! [stick] |

Dude, you should of gotten a yellow one!
Nice bike though, it's a match for any Japanese inline 4 (R6, F4, ZX6, GSXR600) and it only took an extra 150 cc's to do it. |

It's the same reason a person would buy a BMW M3 over a Camero (mine in spring =). |

Quoted: hey, i got a YSR50 as well...only it's white. I had the same one too in high school, someone stole it and it ended up being painted gold and thrown in a lake. I'd like to find another mint condition YSR50 just for kicks. Now I have an imported Honda NC30. |

Rigid,
Congrats on your new scoot... I just bought a 748 last month. Good call on the monoposto, the biposto doesnt look right and the white tail is kick a$$. Let me give you a tip, you've got to change out the break-in oil at 600 miles. Check your oil every 100 miles! When I took my in for the 1st service, I only had about 2 quarts left, I'm lucky I didnt blow my motor! Your duck will eat some oil the 1st 2000 miles... you may need to add some more oil at 200-300miles. I'll be getting my CF Termi's by the end of the year. Are you a member of esportbike.com? Ride Safe, M. |

well a duc is not my choice.but if you like it get it.as far as the 916 vs the 748 i think it comes down to who can hold the trhottle the longest.I had a 98 gix 600 and now have a 01 gix 750 and in the tight canyons there both equal.except for the long sweepers. just watch out for the cages.hey gixxer ever go to www.gixxer.com i go there every night black silver01750
