I know where a 2001 996 with low miles and lots of gear for 8,500 bucks. Pimp as fuck....be a baller!

 

well seeing how my friend next door just sold his duc. and bought a zx10 because of high maintance prices and it is only good for one thing and thats the track. But hey what do i know i ride honda and just bought a suzuki.

 

hmm..... a 4 year old bike.... or a brand new 1.... thats hard.

 

Funny how some/most people hate. I'd certainly take this 996 over a new 636. Not even a contest. Yeah guys will say that its a penis extention, but think i'll care as i have their girl friends bobbing on the twig 'n berries?

Valve adjustment? So why isn't the TL or the RC held with such distain from you guys? Oh that's right, the guys that choose to ride those v-twins ride them for the love of it all, as opposed to the duc riders, right? From the few friends that have ducs they seem to ride more than some of you guys. And as it goes for v-twins they are actually less maintenance intensive than say the TL where you have to retorque every nut and bolt after every ride. Why is everyone hat'n on the Ducati?

 

didnt know we were even talking about TLs? going a little off topic there buddy, arent we?.. he asked about "DUCATIS" not TLs... why are we hating?.. b.c the're a wast of money?.. should be pretty clear

o and he was talking about a 748 not a 996

 

Ducs are cool no matter what. The Kawi 636 is freakin tight! (it's what I bought,lol). Since you can afford a Duc, bring your car and keys hand them to me and you can ride my bike....crash it and you buy it though....only rule.

 

 

I just realized how old this thread was....

 

but just to toss some shit in the fire to stink it up a bit more, Italian Engineering vs. Japanese. Depends on what you want. Reliable, cheap, and good build quality go Jap, but if you want SEXY, EXOTIC, SEXY, BEAUTIFUL, AND SEXY then def Ducati is where its at.

Its like Honda Civic vs. Ferrari 360 Spyder.

 

me 2..
