I am young and in college and i want to buy a superbike, i have it narrowed down to the Ducati 1198 or the BMW S1000rr. Which one would you choose if you were 18, in college and conceited, It will be my first big bike, I used to have a 110 Dirtbike for about 4 years since I was about 12-16, I want to know which one you would choose, also I will be taking a motorcycle safety course, and I'm sure many of you will tell me not to get it as my first bike but I really don't want to wait another 2 years until I buy what I really want. I am not a crazy driver never gotten any speeding tickets. Even though I am a calm driver, I want to know that I have that power there, just in case I ever "need" it. I am always like that, if I buy anything I always want it to be top of the line and different or at least less common, Where I live there are several GSX,CBR's, Repsols, and R1's, I want to stand out, of course, i'm in college, which one would you choose if you knew you had self control, and you knew you would not go crazy or wreck it.
 
The beemer might give you a chance to live because of the traction control and ABS . With the Duke , you simply do not have the talent to ride it with your experience .This doesn't mean the BMW is any slower either , but the Duke is a pure , right on the edge track weapon.
If you think you can jump on a 110 dirt bike to the machines you have mentioned and think you will handle it , I advise you to get your will and funeral expenses tended to first .You will not control it/them .You will go crazy , and the chances of you coming off is extremely high. You are playing with fire fella
 
Only a fool would buy either of those bikes as their first, and 110cc's of dirt-bike power counts as zero previous experience. You will REALLY impress all your buddies when you drop the thing in front of them, causing thousands of dollars of damage in an instant of incompetence. They will remember you forever! Are you sure you're college material?

PS: I hope your college campus is fully handicapped-accessible, so that you will be able to continue your studies post-crash (assuming no permanent brain damage).
