Better? What the fuck does that mean? No wonder you're having a dispute, you're moronic enough to not even define what qualities such a competition will be judged on. Fail.

None of them the cbr250 is the best bike currently out.
I can get 8 seconds off my lap time by getting my knee down
also it doesnt have usd, if it had usd it would win.

Way to go with your first post mate :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
Looking at what you ride I fail to understand the question - surely you have answered it yourself.
Hey my Hornet 900 is farking heaps better than a 08 Bussa or a CBR1000 or a ZX10 or a 1098 ............ for me and my budget :yes:
After I win 18 million in powerball I may change my mind.

That 18 mil is mine.
I'm going to buy a CB1000R, and an XV1900, and a KTM Duke and Enduro 690, and an RSV-4.
Nyah.
I think I'll get a HD Rocker C and modify that rear seat to take a child seat so I have take #3 for rides.
Nyah.
And a Buell 1125CR so I can have a bike with side boobs.

Hey Leftovers. Welcome to the site. Disregard this "Imdying" Numbnuts. He's been making his worthless contributions on my postings too. He doesn't seem to have any "Smarts".

Bit of luck that KR1 will sieze and throw you into a ditch where you're not found for a few weeks... just long enough for the rats to eat your eyes out :yawn:

Jap twins are just that a Jap twin nothing to write home about or to ride . The Ducati can be a costly ride if not maintained correctly as well . Your money & your riding it so ride what you can & make your choice from that .

It was a stupid question, but given the choice, I'd have the 748.

Excuse my ignorance, are RC51, RVT1000R, VTR1000 different names for the same bike? Is this the one Colin Edwards was riding?

If the VTR has USD forks it would be better. Sadly, until that time...

Meh, SP1 or 999? :Pokey:
Why are you comparing a mid range sportsbike with a sport tourer? Might as well say
"What's better - an 350Z or a Commodore stationwagon?"
Well the Commodore is better if you need a car to assist in your wardrobe moving business........

You won't know Ducati until you try the new ones. 848 or 1098, that's the real question

The VTR is hardly a sports tourer. Eats gas. Unforgiving bars and seat, horrid suspension and brakes...
The TL would leave a 748 in the dust, and be a much better tourer than the VTR.

Is that the 10 litre big bore version of the VTR1000F ?

Lets stir the pot...
As posted in another thread:
20 years of WSBK Winners
Ducati have won 13 of the last 20 years
Honda have won 6
Suzuki & Kawasaki 1 a piece
The 748 is based on the same design they raced between 1994-2002.
I don't know anything about the VTR's record.

Beg to differ about the dust coment , Caterton Sprints my 748R has held it's own compared to the tl1000s's on the flying, think I've managed a few kmh's higher than the quickest S.
Standing start is quite a bit different, TL has the advantage until the aerodynamics come into play.
Now , about touring on a 748R ......:confused:

The TL I test rode was the most horrid and uncomfortable bike I have riden... I gave it back after 15min test ride... I find the VTR alot more comfortable to tour on, as for gas... well it can be thirsty, but thats only when you open the throttle... but so can any other bike if you are screaming round in sports mode.... My vtr has good suspension and brakes...
Basically... thats just your opinion to your riding style and what you want, your body weight and arm length to the bars... just as I hated the TL due to the same reasons...
