Any Ducati 916 Bike riders here
 

Hey guys i thought i would just ask i am looking to get another bike today
a Ducati 916 at a kiler price ,
the thing is i am use to riding Jap bikes and i really dnot know much on these bikes is there any one that wants to give there input to good and the bad of them
have a good one all:thumbsup :glugglug :thumbsup

Hey Prostock :)

I don't ride myself, but I am a big fan of AMA Superbike racing and the Ducati teams rule damn near every year. My ex was looking at getting a Duc (996) after years as a KZ owner, and swore his old crotch rocket couldn't compare to the horsepower and "feel" of the Ducati.

Personally, I'd recommend the 916, especially if you can get one at a killer price. Post pics if you can... love to see it! :thumbsup

The only downfall is that there quite expencive to maintain and upgrade. I personally am a fan of the Japanese bikes, 1/2 the price and 2x the bike.... but if ya got the cash, and want a super sexy bike, Ducati is a great choice.:thumbsup

Here's my scooter.:winkwink:

A 916 is a sweet bike, but if you are used to say a CBR929 or a GSXR1000/1100 you will be disappointed in the power, is stock form they are a turd.

Before I get flamed here I have been road racing for most of my life, a stock GSXR750 will out right embarrass a 916 on any track.

That being said if you don't mind losing the power and like the style and quality that the Ducks have go for it.

If you are buying any sort of italian motor vehicle, please, get the red one!

Dont fuck up like BradShaw did and buy a non-red ferrari.

Those are nice, but I'm a Harley man myself.

Back in the day I had an 888. God day-um I miss that bike.

I feel like it was a girl I dated in high school and I broke up with her because of, like, peer pressure and didn't discover until later that she grew into a total hottie in college, and now I can't stop thinking about her.

i've had a couple ducatis and a couple guzzi lemans/sport.

now i have a suzuki hayabusa, which makes ALL the italian bikes seem like fragile kid toys.

I ride a Honda RC51, its a Jap copy of a ducati, with Japanese reliability. First year out it won the World Superbike Championship, and won again in 2002.

If you are gonna buy a Duc get a 998, 916 is old news.

Hello everyone! New to the site. I was actually searching for the post that had the pics of the 999. We noticed we had a lot of hits from this site and were simply curious. :)
there's a funny (or not so) story on that particular bike.
