i would have to say that the ducati is definitely worth 2300 more. Not only because of the facts mentioned above but also, the marchesini wheels that come standard on the ducati are 2 grand brand new...so really, i think the ducati is a better value, even for more money. Plus the low end torque that a ducati makes is so much more practical on the road.

more like ferrari to LF-A...thats the yami, ferrari to an gt-r...works, duc to scuderia through shell oil, if anything outside of them both being italian, and the gsxr through nissan, that said, the gt-r may be fast and less expensive, etc, etc...but you just can't beat the mystique, the soul of a ferrari...hats off to the gsxr, but some things can't be surmised in performance figures...

Correction! I ride a ducati 848 nicky hayden editon, 1 of 150 made, it produces 134 hp and the duc weighs less. Google it c:

i prefer the v-twin ducatim a lil less common for bikes on the road and more fun because of the low end torque...and im not one to wanna buy a bike because of looks but i love the way ducati looks

aftermarket parts for the duc are way more over 2 grand for a termigoni slip on and about 1100 for a slip on from any other aftermarket company not to mention the service cost on a duc is gonna be more than a gsxr. But at the end of the day you WILL turn heads on a duc which is why people buy them.

First off the Suzuki is a 100cc smaller yet makes more 133 RWHP/ D-121.22 RWHP. It does have hydraulic disc Brakes, rear hydraulic disc. The price is 2400.00 ? more for the Ducati. Looks are subjective to the beholder. So the only thing the Ducati has is a little TQ over the smaller GSXR750. They never say witch one is the faster on the track. It's not a apple to apple comparison. The cost to maintain would be a big factor over the years,With tires ect. That's my two cents, yl

id have the gsxr and sink the 2300 in to a power commander, exhaust, sprockets, and maybe a cam if money allowed and walk all over that ducati

[voilntlyplay]

ducati the fastest

@Mrgearhed what you're saying in another way is that gsxr brakes are 0$

like the video said same mods will probably be pricier on the ducati.

also 400cc motorbikes are more practical on the road than both the bikes it's never really about the torque more the throttle control

[mjkarger89]

@Mrgearhed That 750 has plenty of low end torque to make it practical on the road.

See the Duc is better for most people who want to race their friends, however if you want a bike that will require you to LEARN to be a better rider get the Gixxer.

DUCATI ALL THE WAY!
