How do you think owners of other bikes view Ducati owners?

looks like you have had too much pudding,going by the Avatar.

 

You would never be able to abuse a duke engine the way you could a SV...sorry but a good twin.

 

Good engine. Great engine, in fact. Shite everything else built down to a budget, sadly. Mostly the suspension, which is extra shite.

 

Don't disagree with you there on build quality, even a R1 build quality IMO is not very good.

 

Anybody tells you an SV is as good as a TL...they're lying.

 

Is that the same engine as in the TDM?

 

No, it's the same engine as in in the SV, but with the bollocks still attached.

 

Love it.....LOL

 

Not to sure or mind what others think of me or my bike to be honest. Back in 1995 when buying my first new Ducati, a powerful 600ss i would have loved a 916,and there was one in the showroom that i fell in love with, it looked stunning.
At this time my mates rode various bikes like Gpz, Zx6 and also zzr 600. My little 600ss was by no means the fastest but i just loved to ride it but ...... 38,000 miles later i traded it in for a yzf750. Which was a hoon for a year or so.
Time passed i got married,we had two children, i lost my job so i started a business up then this year i managed to get myself the 916 i had always wanted.
To me as long as you are happy with what you ride does it relay matter what others think.
