1098 Ducati

**et al** · 16th November 2006, 12:12

For you Gixer lovers: The point is that anyone who wants to buy the 1098 will obviously be able to afford a GSXR1000 - IF THEY SO CHOOSE. Reason they will go for the Ducati is that they will enjoy owning it and riding it more than the Suzuki, they are not worried about whether the GSXR is faster or lighter/whatever. Its all about personal preferences and getting the best bike for you, that you can afford.
And maybe "Crasher" would like to come out of the closet and admit that he has a bit of a soft spot for Ducatis?

you're so full of shit.

you just have a small cock and need something red and italian to get laid.

enjoy owning and riding it more, what a pile of crap. you think you wankers on duc's enjoy "riding and owning" your bikes anymore than some skint little oik on a 250?

how do you measure that?

Well as you yourself know.....I do in fact like them, and practically all bikes.
But in this instance....that wasn't my argument!

Yeah mate.....and I see your 'live in play thing' Cibby has come to your rescue and 'red repped' me for daring to argue with you 'Mag boy'!

What a bad ass double act! Leave him to argue on his own Cibby!

its a public forum, I can't control who reads it as much as I can't control who will give you green or red bling for it. If Cibby has taken more offence to any comment then I have, she has as much right as anyone to express that. There's no point getting upset about it, she even gave me red bling for the comment about the chicks jelly wrestling at the start of the thread. I can see that it looks like your getting picked on, but that's not the case, if it were then I would have red peppered you as well, but I don't see the need as we were discussing it openly here.

Upset? Yeah gonna go throw myself off a building right now!
And you're welcome to 'pepper' me with as much 'red' as you like!
But you'd better look out, my MUM reads this too, and she may well feel the need to red you and your 'live in play thing'......

What is the difference between me arguing with you and ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE on this thread that are arguing with you???????????

Are you saying that I’m not allowed to have an opinion now on KB just because I’m with someone? Or that my opinion is not as valid as everyone elses in regards to the new ducati.

I don’t need to come to the rescue of Postie or anyone else but I will support those opinions which I think are valid and am equally entitled to disagree, and in this instance I have taken the stance that you are arguing for the sake of it, and that your personal attacks are beyond the call of a well argued debate showing your lack of a wider understanding and extreme prejudice.

I am not a Ducati fan in general but this bike, if it appears to be what they say it is will be well worthy and an awesome machine…

Probably still wouldn’t want one thou…. 

Gixxer got owned by a much heavier and less powerful Aprillia in the latest Masterbike comparo, when both were ridden by a bunch of ex-GP hotshots...it will almost certainly get owned by this

So whether you favour speed or individuality...the Duc is mad cool...'nuff said.
