Ducati

I know this is somewhat off-topic given that we all, presumably, own or want to own Hayabusa. I love my 2002 blue/black. But I am crazy or is the Ducati 999 series (especially in red) a simply awesome looking bike. Man if I could just win the lottery.

Carefull on that maintenance cause I hear it's up there. Sweet bike though.

 

[arey]

That is my favorite bike. But I am satisfied with my busa.

Dude, there is a little secret stash of cash in my wallet right now, waiting to find a super clean 916/996. Sexiest bikes ever made.....the Busa's the king....but a Duc's so much better lookin.....

 

[WWJD]

let's see here... hmmm... okay... I always loved the Futura for reasons I can't explain logically

 

[PACIFICBUSA]

hrmm...I'd prolly go MV Augusta.


Boootifuul!!!

I'd like a Ducati AND an MV Agusta. Maybe then the voices in my head would stop...

 

[BA BUSA]

999R sweeeeeet

 

[Jace]

maybe if i win the lottery and fill the garage with toys throw one of those in for fun

 

[techbum]

Guess it's just me but I couldn't ride anything else knowing I have a Busa in the garage at home......

Oh yes you can. I had only a busa in my garage as well and loved that thing. Still do for that matter but once I got myself a viciously fast, light, agile liter bike, my busa just collects dust unless I'm going on a trip.

Ducati is definately the premo in V-twins with the Aprilia not far behind!

I'm with PacMan on this one...

See that is the great thing about motorcycles:

<ul>
[*]My bike doesn't get jealous when I look at other bikes.
[*]Or hop on a newer one at the dealership
[*]My bike doesn't care if it shares a garage with half a dozen other bikes, and will gladly take me for a spin any time I am in the mood
[*]My bike doesn't care if I ride the hell out of her all weekend long and then don't get back to her till next Saturday to do it all again
[/list]

The way I see it, a garage FULL of hot, sexy motorcycles - all waiting to be taken out and ridden for all they are worth -  is a dream come true  

All that being said, I have to say in all honesty that as much as I dig my bikes, I REALLY dig my wife

 

 August will be 5 years married and (get this) SEVEN years together.  We still haven't had a fight that has resulted in the police being called and that puts me WAY ahead of where I was by this time on the first marriage

Oh (edit) and one more thing, I have a friend in Seattle with the 999s, he LOVES it

I like the ducati's. A guy i do work for has a 97 916 all out race bike its pretty sweet. Carbon fibre damn near everything.

 

[pure_ego]

The aprilia rsv1000 factory gives me a woodie everytime i look at it. the duc's are cool too.. but the prila's kill me.. every one of them.

 

[Rob'sBus]

TSpoole, that is one sweet looking ride your friend has there. A fella can dream can't he?! Anyway, I love my Busa and can't wait for springtime. BUT, the Ducati 999 is still an awfully hot motorcycle.

 

[crazzycowboy]

With some of the reviews ive read why in the world would you want to spend $17,000.00 for this.

Perhaps the tuning still needs some work, though. Our test bike would sometimes cough at low rpm, causing the engine to stall embarrassingly.

A new battery and a check-up with a Ducati tech did nothing to solve this annoyance, and this isn’t the first report we’ve heard about this condition. Otherwise, the V-Twin is stellar, with just a hint of a flat spot at 7000 rpm.

The busa would still kick the schitz out of this bike.
And not to mention it's (999)butt ugly (my opinion).
I don't even have a BUSA, but I would still take a busa over this bike. GSXR's just rock
