I close my eyes and dream Ducati
Well, trying to finish the license, Norway got to difficult theoretic test! But im spending my time with headphones, listening to the sweet Ducati symphony. It makes me smile big time. My heart starts beating faster and my body gets restless. The only thing I can do is close my eyes and dream Ducati. My brother got a 87 model 750 paso, man what a ride. Just tried a 2001 cbr 600, good bike, but serious I would choose the paso... I will write a new message when I get my Ducati 748. Have a nice Ducati summer everyone!!

Motorcycle poetry
I absolutely totally love my Ducati Monster. It is a magic potion on wheels. It has an attitude and presence every other bike can only dream of. From the naked looks which invite you to feel the gorgeous machinery to that legendary sound that has been described as the 'song of the Ducati' - I can only say the Harley's of the world are just pretenders. Pull up at the lights and neighbouring car drivers pull down their windows just to hear the Ducati song. The Duc is not forshrinking violets - nor for subtle, discreet ones. It is meant to be ridden hard - that is how you learn to appreciate motorcyle poetry.

Never been stereotypical
For the better part of 30 years I've been on just about everything from countless sportbikes, cruisers, Harleys to one off coustom bikes and racers. Much of these bikes blend together into a grey mush in my mind. However, Ducati has never been stereotypical, and all my memories of the marque or a vivid red. From Desmodromic valves to V-Twin power, Ducati has ridden a different and endearing road. As a result of their efforts, there is nothing on the planet that inspires more road confidence and the desire to go run down a Japanese sportbike than the rattle-can clutch, bellowing dragon exhaust and surgically precise suspension on my 999.

Destroy it in the twisties..
I have been a BMW rider for years and appreciate them for the Long DIstance good handling well built bikes they are. That said there is something the 996 installs that is lustful. It is the only bike I have ever ridden that makes me want to hunt another bike down and destroy it in the twisties. I love owning the 996 for solo sport riding along side my K1200RS for two up touring.

Combined in both
The Ferrari of motorcycles. (Which can be a good thing or a bad thing, on any particular day). I feel lucky to own both an older and newer Ducati. Design, performance and history are combined in both bikes. Love 'em.

Phenomenal!
I've lusted for a Ducati Superbike for years. This summer I finally was able to buy one. It has been everything I expected and hoped. It will act as an extension of my arms and legs with a precision I've not found in other motorcycles. I am fearless riding it. The sounds it makes get inside your head and become addictive. I actually have a jones if I can't ride it for a while. It is beginning to look like it might be expensive to maintain and some parts are hard to get quickly. Still, it has been nothing but a huge grin riding it. Phenomenal!

Gorjuss
What can I say? Gorjuss, Gorjuss, Gorguss. Oustanding design, great sound, goes like stink and handles like it looks, Gorjuss. I've got a Ducati and I love it! It would take a fair amount to get me to part with it too, even thinking about another one to make a stablemate for the one I already have. Oh Dear, choices, choices, which one to ride. Ho Humm.

Truly unique
I rode Japanese sport bikes for 15 years and was tired of the same old design regurgitated over and over again. Ducati's are truly unique and I will never, ever sell mine. The performance is all I could ever want and the bike never fails to elicit a positive remark wherever I go. Red, fast, loud, and beautiful... bella macchina!! Truly what the world thinks of when 'exotic' superbikes are brought up.

A long term relationship
I am 51 years young and have been riding and racing motorcycles for at least 40 of those years. I currently ride my 95 Ducati 900 SP every day as my transportation and pleasure rides. The bike has performed flawlessly every time I fire it up. I have owned just about every brand and I still wouldn't give up this bike for anything else on the market. And yes, I still sit in the garage and enjoy the timeless design of this machine. I would recommend this marque to anyone interested in a long term relationship with a reliable friend.

The passionate Ducatisti
The Ducati name has a rich history, and much of it spent racing. Even their most modern (and most esoteric) cycles carry the blood of the thoroughbred. It's not what bike won last weekend's superbike race that drives the passionate Ducatisti, but that long history of pure devotion to speed. If the sound of the Harley is born of Kentucky bourbon and Rocky Mountain beer, then the Ducati sound carries the smooth sophistication of a fine, barrel-aged Tuscan wine. For those who want to be seen and heard, and only that, Harley is the marque. For those who want to be NOTICED, Ducati is the only way to go.
