    What is your ducati putting out by the way can't find it on the net anywhere. I think quasi's was putting out 65 which is the same as miy 400.

    HAHAHAHA no i'd personally get a 748r or 998 if i suddenly came into some money. Just because i love v-twins and the only problem i find is that other than expensive i-talian bikes there is nothing untill the 1l class and then they are expensive anyway

    And *Quasi's* was the 750 SuperSlow! Oh, the shame of it. Three hundred and fifty extra cc's worth of pretty noise, soot and nice warm thighs (well, all that petrol must do *something* when it combusts - physics, innit?)

    And all he could afford, after that, was a nasty funny-coloured Kawasaki. The poor man must hardly have the balls to raise his head in the presence of Real Bikers, these days.

    Oh dear.

    I just remembered.

    Yours is the 600, isn't it.

    I'd start being polite to 250cc two-stroke riders, if I were you...

    Sorry dude, I'm immune. The 150's not even *meant* to be a Proper Bike; it doesn't really come into the discussion either way. It's more like a scooter, or a pushbike, or a monthly bus pass.

    Anyway, don't you know that digs about my FXR are the KB equivalent of Godwin's Law? It means the thread's over, and someone else has lost the argument...

    Well, there was, of course, the somewhat unspoken question of whether or not Ducatis are overpriced crap.

    But I was really only quoting the usual form of Godwin's Law, there.

    And anyway, only a Nazi would cast aspersions on a bike smaller than his.

    Bahahaha

    So what was this thread about again?

    Ah that's right, the Triumph 600 and the Bonneville.

    Having not ridden either can't comment on personal experience. Have read good things about the improvements Triumph have made in the past few years. I think you'll find the Triumph much like the Duc, it's a little more expensive than the Jap equivilent, the features and performance are quite as good, but it's got personality.

    Would probably help also if you gave us some insight into it's intended usage. % of commuting, % of fanging it, % of lesurely open-roading, etc.

    would have to be more than one!

    I wasn't trying to be a dick Blakamin. Was just talking from my own experiences of Ducatis in the last three years.

    If we are talking statistics - perhaps my past experiences could be likened
    to someone having had the bad luck of being struck by lightning.

    It has just put me off....thats all like i said, NICE bikes tho

    and cos its Indiana asking, I felt I needed to mention it - I don't want what
    I saw, happen to him ...thats all
