ducati 1198 for next bike?

[Zid Harper]

Well i have been riding comming up to 2 years now one year on a 125 and one year on a 500cc and have no problems with them but i want something alot bigger and sporty this time so is the ducati 1198 a good choice or would you recomend the 848?

They are probably the best looking bike ever, If i had one i probably wont never ride it in fear of someone stealing it, or stacking it. Ducatis are dream bikes, they dont really work too well in the real world(expensive parts, servicing and insurance) personally i think a gsxr-750 is the perfect bike, it has the usable power on the street and handles like a 600cc sportbike.
