As previously stated, condition is key. The mileage is a factor since parts wear out and require replacement. I like my 4-valve Ducs, but like Ferrari's - they cost more to maintain. If you have limited disposable income, there are better choices. Perhaps more importantly, the 748/916/996 generation superbikes are race focused and make traffic-ridden street riding a chore. However, if you are like me and spend more time looking at your Italian bikes then riding them, go for it!. ciao
