> I’ve been planning on jumping ship from yamaha to BMW, But I actually like this new Ducati the more I see it… If It’s around the same price as a fully loaded BMW S1000RR It’s worth consideration. Just have to figure out how I can keep a sports bike, a sports car & afford a super bike on top those.:ponder

The base 1199 is $18k, the version of the 1199 which most people want is the “S” which is $23k.

In our area, a BMW is probably a smarter buy because there is actually a dealer close by.
