I actually need to buy a bike and try to stick with it... trying to own/ride every bike i "want" is near impossible. The only issue with Ducati is the service... not the price or where to get the usual stuff done, but there are a couple of companies in Europe that can get a ducati low enough for my short ass... or i buy a M900... which i fit from the get go.
I didnt really get to ride the R6. I wish i had because its such a comfortable bike, at least for me. and i get bitter when the guy who bought it from me pulls it out and takes it for a spin... GSXR or the R6 will most likely be the next bike i own... but i love the Duc... or even a Triumph. After i scared myself on my roomates GSXr after the rebuild and then almost dropped my ninja i feel kind of shakey on a bike... i lost confidence... but about 2 months ago i took the GSXR out and flogged it a little on the highway and down the parkway... its got TONS of power for a bike to be just riden around, not quite the comfy feel of the R6... if i can get someone to let me take a spin on their R6 for a little while i'll be able to make up my mind...
i ruled out the F4i cause i dont want to have a bike that looks like Petes lol! and that would be the only color i would ride from honda i think.
