How on earth can these Italian fruitcakes charge twice as much for a bike that's half as good? Sure, their plastic is cuter but clearly the japanese bikes perform better. Everyone is like omg wowz he has a ducati, when they should be like omg wowz he ripped himself off.
Ducati = Harley Davidson.

It's all what a person likes and wants. Obviously they sell because someone is buying them.

I think this guy is a total troll. I've seen other of his posts.
But on the other hand...he is from Squidtown, USA...FL.

Just a troll. They're the best bikes in the world and come with every possible upgrade, standard.

Well for one thing, Locally at least, The Warranties are vastly different. With the big 4 you go out to a track day and have a part fail or multiple parts, good luck trying to get that fixed under warranty. On a Ducati, it would be covered. Of course there are varying circumstances of course.
This was explained to me by our local Duc Dealer, if he is full of shit let me know
I also think that the bikes and the company have a richer,more fascinating history behind them. But this is all IMO

Ducati warrenties cover track days? Sounds fishy, but if that's true it's awesome.

They added traction control to an R1? The DTC is amazing from what I gather.
EDIT: ya, that would be the 1198s that came with Traction control not the 1098s, oops

One thing I noticed though...all girls and non bike people always refer to the japanese bike by generic names as "Ninja", "CBR", etc, etc, etc...regardless of cc, year, model, etc.
But they know a Ducati is a Ducati. When I first got my Ducati, I would get LOTS of compliments, girls would turn their heads, honk and give me their numbers on the street...guys asking "What size is it? 996? 916?"...never seen that with a Jap bike.
Let's continue feeding the troll

Right. That's why Ducati has completely dominated World Superbike since its inception. The bikes are complete rubbish.
