...WOW, would I have just known how many responses I'd trigger!
Anyway... my post was not about superiority or the opposite, not about bragging or anything the like... just simply to share my impressions of the two bikes while they are fresh in my memory! No more, no less...
The Buell IS AN AWESOME bike... I'd still ride it, and ride it with pleasure, if the Ducati Bug hadn't bitten... And I'll probably buy one again down the line... just not right now!
To those pointing out that my happiness is fleeting... rest asured, I know what I am riding!...
I work on my own bikes, get great deals on anything in the Parts Unlimited Catalog and I am not wearing pink sunglasses... I know about the weaknesses, yet, I also know about the beauty of the bike I am riding...
Thank you all though for taking the time to respond... either way, it is interesting to see some Japanese bike owners trying to justify themselves and some of the Italian bike owners getting tired of the hassles... yet, it seems that most Ducati owners get over the downsides and enjoy the upsides... we all have to live with our decision...
Thank you all and keep the rubber side down!
