[QUOTE="FORZDA 1, post: 1290249, member: 26637"] Yes, I fully understand the Ducati costs. Kind of like a Ferrari. Yes, you can buy more power, etc., etc., etc., but well, it's a Ferrari. So..., it's a Ducati. If I was only concerned about costs, I certainly wouldn't have my sig list of vehicles, not counting the 36ft Class A RV in my drive, etc. I rode Japanese bikes for decades, until I was secure enough financially for pretty much anything I want and in 2011 I fell in love with the 1198SP. It was the first time I had ever even stopped in to a European bike shop. I have no desire for the later Superbikes, even the new badass V-4 as they veered away from the classic 90 deg V (or L) twins, trellis frames, and dry clutches. I know why they did and the new bikes are faster, etc., but that doesn't matter to me. Kind of like the guys who rag on the new Raptor with the V-6. They like the old V-8s and that's ok, just don't **** and moan about it. As for the new bikes vs my "old" one, you won't pass me on the road and likely not on the track, unless you're a VERY good rider. "I'm not as good as I once was, but once, I'm as good as I ever was"... Went by the Heavy & Dangerous shop today just for grins and they're still selling their ancient shit for more $$$ than my Ducatis and that H&D shit is literally ancient junk. Their newest hotrod bike weighs about 900 lbs and all of it is high on the bike. To sit on it feels like your balancing a lead ball on a knife blade. It just falls over. H&Ds are for fat-assed old men (and women) who have no class and want to be part of a class-less group. You know, the wild HOGs. Oh well, I still have a Yamaha scooter for my granddaughter to ride.
