My dream bike
or the 1199 ( the last proper Ducati imo ) or 999... pretty much any Ducati superbike. Though my cut up Monster is a lot of fun as well 
I almost got a superbike this year ( the 999 ) but then decided to go for a 'family bus' the ST4, so my girlfriend can ride with me until she gets her own bike That's going to happen

Beauty or beast ?
This eight year old bike feels like it's going to kill you any moment .... nowadays top-sports bikes produce over 200 bhp, this 1098 'only' produces 160 bhp but the 1100 cc long stroke V-twin produces such a high torque in such a brutal way (and then i ha...
Photoshopped ;-)
My tax man doesn't have to know about my collection of over 200 Ducati's ;-)
That is both a Beauty and a Beast!
It would be definitely too much for me but for sure, a great pleasure to own. I have nowadays here in Estonia only my H-D Dyna Fat Bob, a heavily customised bike. It's a perfect bike for an old man. Best, Kari
No worries ...
IMG_8692 from Bimbeano on Vimeo . 99.99999 % of the world population can't ride this Ducati in a decent way, including myself i guess. One day i'll stick to a Harley or a Indian ;-)
The new Indian bikes ...
... are pretty cool. The prices are correct and they have modern technology packed in old-skool styling. It will be without any doubt a huge hit !
They are nice.
My H-D is now around 8 years old and it has also been working without any problems. Best, Kari
Well if you have the option between a 911 GTS or a prancing horse I know what I would pick.....
And it would have 2 wheels only. Might as well put it on eBay ;-)
To be honest, I can't really get you.
But if I should choose between 911 GTS & Cali T, I wouldn't know what to choose. These two cars are so very different. The comment things are opening roofs and small back seats but after that, there is not much common. Best, Kari
Typo
What I meant to write is: I would always choose either the 911 or Cali T over a bike
Same with me
But I do not know which one to choose. GTS feels more "brutal" while Cali T is more sophisticated on comfort mode. However, it has clearly much higher output. I will in near future go to a racing track and divide the day between those two. In the end of p...
I am easy going and always very careful.
And I know that when rubber starts to smell, the wallet gets thinner and thinner. Best, Kari
It's nothing compared to all the watches
a water drop on a boiling hot iron plate ;-)
I do not even want to think about that...
But my comfort is that my watches are perhaps a better investment that the government bonds of Greece. Best, Kari
The 848 / 1098 / 1198
are beautiful bikes but it's always been a love/hate thing for me, same goes for the Monster / Streetfighter series ... one day i absolutely love it and the other day i absolutely don't want to deal with it. But in the end i can't deny it's one hell of a ...
Its a beauty....
As I have been travelling over the last few years, I haven't had a chance to really experience the 1098, 1299 or the 1199. I've heard the recent 1299 is actually the smoother and easier to handle, whereas the 1199 is a true sports brute.... I can never ha...
Ah the 916 / 748 / 996 / 998
In a couple of weeks ... 'my' two red 996 Ducati's will arrive ... ;-) Two friends bought a 996 last week and i will be the lucky guy to ride them from time to time, it actually started all back in 1994 ... when my best friend came along with a friend's 9...
Those must have been special moments!
A 916 now is still legendary, imagine feeling it in 1994!! My first bike was also a CBR600 (FW)!! I'd imagine the 916 SP is still the one that stands out, maybe followed by the 998R? You seem to have experienced a lot of different models... are you able t...
Top 5 !
Hi ik ! Just noticed your question about a top 5 of my favorite Ducati's ... i have ridden a lot but not all, actually almost anything from the 888 till today except for the 749/999 series. 1. 748 R ... that was definately an astounding bike to me ! When ...
Thanks for you reply Filip
I don't know anyone who has experience of such a big range of Duke's as yourself, I really want to try the 1199 now !!! Thanks for your thoughtful reply! Imran
Both!
Ducati. I love them! Wish I could ride it. But I\'m not allowed by my mother, wife and brother. Besides that according to a past friend, who owned a red Ducati 998 with (illegal) race exhausts, I am too big (tall) for such a bike anyway. Nevertheless when...
Soo you are taller than my 198 cm ?
Offcourse you're from Holland so you should be taller ;-) That 998 on the picture is fabulous, a bloke in my village owns the ultimate iteration of the original 1994 Ducati 916, the 998R which is simply stunning in many ways. I would be more than happy wi...
So I could ride it
I\'m 5 cm less tall than you are. But if I\'d start bike riding now I would probably die. I\'ll just stick to cars & boats

1299 ...
... would be my pich nowadays ... 205 hp and a lot of grunt in the low rev range .. combined with a bicycle -weight racebike ...
That's not a Ducati anymore...
seriously ( and you are free to have a different opinion ), it's made after the Audi accountants took over. I just don't like the little changes against the 1199 which was, to me, perfect in every way. Yes, i know, for a 29 year old, i'm pretty old fashio...
Aahh, but you ...
.. are talking about the 1199 .. i suppose you mean the 1198, a real beast. I don't agree about the 899/959/1199/1299 not being a Ducati anymore because they are now part of Audi, Audi took over Ducati from an American holding, i remember talking to the b...
I understand your point
and i agree with it completely... ok, almost completely. What i said is just my feeling - it's the same with Lamborghini - ever since the Audi took over, the madness is disappearing in favor of high quality and marketing. Which for most people is not exac...
