See... I'd rather a 600 over a 9. That will help with the learning curve. Plus, that is still capable of killing you with ease...

the SS is a lot more raw than the 749. really. the 749 is easier to ride, even though it has more power.
i'd ride the monsters. 900cc's of naked goodness.

My thing with naked bikes is the lack of wind protection. We get a lot of wind here, and the little bit of windshield and fairing would help...

hell, the bike i learned on had almost 90HP.
1986 Yamaha FZX 750 Fazer specifications and pictures i think 99HP, as listed on that page, is a bit optimistic. however, the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are correct.

the monsters have a little windscreen. that is usually enough. honestly, the screen on my SS is useless, unless i pretty much lay on the fuel tank.

I really need to ride one... There just aren't many around here...
I really want an 848, but lets be realistic.... The 848, 1098, and Triumph Daytona, are IMHO some of the best looking crotch rockets available. Last edited by porsche4life; 08-09-2011 at 10:51 PM.. |

i am coming around to the 748. the 888 is a bit dated. if i were to buy brand new, 848.

1993 Ducati 888 Strada specifications and pictures
yep, sweet bike. but dated. the 916 is much sexier.

i think you would be happier with a 900. i really really like the mid 90's SS. very nice lines.

the triumph 675 is the bomb. you get the best of both worlds: good torquey grunt with the inline triple, yet high and fast revving like an inline 4. it won just about everything it entered, IIRC.

check out the torque... 5 more foot pounds than my 900 and 46 more ponies.
