Instead of wondering why people talk about them, why not go to a dealership and take one for a spin. Make an informed opinion about why you do or do not like one. Realistically, there are just as many "kinds" of Ducati bikes as there are other bikes. Sport touring models, the laid back nimble...

The 696 in my opinion is very tame in comparison to the litre versions of the Ducati bikes. The other nice thing is that the 696 is a desmodue, meaning it is not a superbike engine but a 2 valve per cyl engine. This means it is NOT as peaky as the superbikes and is more of a torque make than a...

Kris, If you are a new rider I wouldn't recommend the power of a Ducati as a first bike since there is a lot of variables when learning. However, if you're just starting out with a bike and you want a Ducati I would say a smaller monster would be a good as "forgiving" as a Ducati you can get...

I own a 1999 Ducati 900SS. The 900SS and 800SS are not horribly different from each other. Neither is the power. 0-60 is supposedly a wonderful 3.3 seconds with a 5 second 0-100 time. However, to pull this off you'll have to likely have the skills of valentino rossi, but it's at least fun to...

$4500 is a good price, but I definitely would NOT RECOMMEND this bike for a beginner's bike. These bikes are very expensive to upkeep, and the likelihood of dropping your first bike is literally around 90% (the odds are against you). Even if you drop it at a standstill, in the gravel, or by...

weeniesublime, I'd be happy to assist. I also own the same model year of your car and have dealt with these cars for a long time but have a few questions: - Has the clutch been slipping at all? - Is there any noise involved? - When you say bucking, do you mean the car lunges and lurches...

748S is a reliable bike. However, the 748 has some things you should be aware of. As with most Ducati motorcycles, they have tedious maintenance schedules. It's a superbike, so belts every 2 years, valve adjustments every 6,000 miles. Keep on top of the fluids, and the clutch reservoir...

The 1098 and 1198 are very powerful. The S2R is a totally different ballpark with a Desmodue, whereas the 1198 is a superbike motor. You're literally going to be going to a night and day difference with horsepower. Not to mention the ergonomic style of the bike is entirely different from the...

Ahad, I happen to own a 1999 Ducati SuperSport 900. I can safely tell you that I am 100% happy that i DID NOT start on this bike for a first bike. I started on a Ninja 250. They have a rather difficult clutch to learn with. It's a dryclutch setup and is a lot more direct than a normal...

Since i'm not seeing anyone has responded: It's far to difficult to answer this as a definite "This is better" answer. For me, LeoVince is my choice. They sound heavenly on a Desmodue engine and are just a wonderful pleasing sound to the ears with a small increase in power. You'll get the...
