Much Respect to DUCATI

[Tio Loco]

those dry clutches make those expensive bikes sound like a bag of doorknobs
Having never ridden one I cannot speak as to how they handle or perform . I do know replacement parts are stoopid expensive tho

Yea, I had a Ducati ST2 before the Busa. I could never get used to that dam clutch noise. Why a dry clutch on a ST? The new ones come wet now for that model. For the middle of the Ducati line the bike it did well but I did sell it to buy a busa and I have no regrets.

A busa would be a DODGE VIPER
DUCATI would be a PORSCHE 911

And I'd take the Viper any day of the week.

I have a 91 851 that has 85k and I still ride the hell out of it. No it's not the fastest bike (150 plus the way it's geared) but the torque, braking and handling is such that I do not believe that I would every get rid of this bike.
