Re: Price Reductions - New bike

I was really considering buying the new 749, but I really can't justify the price difference between it and the latest crop of 600's.

Why would any of you spend the extra $$$$ needed to buy a ducati over a 600? I know it looks great and all, but are there any other reasons that I may not be aware of?

Just curious.

Re: Price Reductions - New bike

I' not considering just raw numbers at all. In fact, I have a Duc (albeit an older model) and I'm very fond of it and it's.... err.... character.

I'm just wondering where, if at all, the Duc would surpass the Jap 600's that are on offer. And if it does, is it to the tune of a several thousand dollars?

Comfort, track use, urban drivability, medium distance hauls, performance, build quality, etc ... I'm considering all those factors, and yet I can't give the nod to the 749 on any of these apart from "looks"

I really want the 749, but I don't knwo why. Can someone do the justifying for me?
