   Some people disdain the things they cannot have.
   Recognise them, then ignore them.
   Bikes are not necessarily only about speed, its about how they make you feel.

   You don’t need to be rich to afford one. My ’10 1198 wich had less then 1000 miles on it was bought for around 13k. A new GSX1000/CBR1000/R1/ZX10R is how much?…

   @redbull9295 Yes, The best evolution for a 21+ is like an FZ6, then a 600, then an 848,750 or for the extreme races 1000, 1198. If your a fat ass like 220 lbs u can jump to a 750 or 848, but but a double hand me down cause you will prolly drop it. If your balls to the wall like me start low and end at the 848, if I had a BMW 1000rr I would use every hp till i was dead. either way dont listen to the people who try to boast inside they are scared or just plain dumb.

    @redbull9295 I ride with a girl who started on this bike; she dropped it a few months ago. She handles the bike very well, but everyone will drop their bike at some point. if you’re a bigginner, you’re just a bit more likely to drop it. just for the record, I myself have a sv650 (not nearly as good as the 848 hehehe) and I crashed about 2 months ago. But it’s my first bike and i love it to death. Now, if you think u can handle it, you can. but be careful cus the odds are against you/

    @ballereast Mate I’ve owned a Monster 600, a Sport 1000 and now an 848 and none of them have ever broken down once. They sound amazing, they handle like nothing else and are as affordable as most Jap bikes these days. Again, what are you talking about?

    @bigfisherie: Gorgeous looks, and no doubt excellent performance. But I have one problem with both of your faves. They are V-Twins. Don’t like them at all. I wouldn’t buy a Harley or Ducati for that reason. The problem with motorcycles is that test rides are so hard to come by for most potential owners that we tend to stick with what we got or what a friend has or recommends. It’s sad, really. Maybe one day I’ll change my tune…but for now, I prefer the I3 and I4 configuration.

    @ballereast Ducati’s are precision Italian motorcycles. Are you sure you have any idea what you’re talking about? Nope.

    @trumpet90909 they sound like diesel tractors, and all japs can out handle a shitty ducati. they break down all the time, and when they do its gona empty your pockets. what are you talking about ?

    Actually Ducati has come a long way in dropping the price of their bikes to be more competitive. Kudos to Ducati!!

    @Brian192813 NO IT IS NOT. In your mind, sounds and seems easy to just sit on it and ride after taking MSF Course but trust me, i is not. “Yeah, but I’ll take it slow” – that’s what all people say and then they drop it. Ducs are not like Japs.They have more torque on low rpm so it’s easy to make mistake even on low rpm. I started with 696 Monster. For me, that was perfect beginner. Maybe, this is next step. After all, it is your choice. Your life – your own risk., so YOU make the right call.
