my neighbour had a Ducati, he had it running all day once , i had to go round and complain about the noise ... turned out he was doing some concreting , wasn't the bike at all.... 540x360.jpg How did your neighbour feel (and every other Ducati owners!) about his bike being mistaken for a cement mixer!!! I think it makes more sense to go with the Kawazaki, more power and it has some great reviews with a really reliable reputation. Now to see if any dealers are actually open for business!
