1999 Ducati reviews

I have had this bike since 2001, it was brand new on the showroom floor. I have to say this is one beutiful riding bike. She is great in the corners and has plenty of power everywhere including at the track. This is a Half Fairing version. Show less

Bottom line up front, Ducati is the one and only bike I will ever ride and own. I like all models of Ducati, but I am truly enamored with the Super Sport family! Ducati Super Sports are finely crafted machines that exude sexiness with power. People notice my Ducati both visually and audibly. Handling is great whether I'm on a starightaway or straifing curving a country road. I know immature people who like to brag and tell me that my 750SS is slow compared to their bikes, that's when I ask them, "Do you race professionally?" Ten times out of ten they go away. Another tidbit of info, no one and I mean no one ever confuses a Ducati with any other bike. Classic baby!! Show less

I bought the bike with 600 miles, since then I have put 2900 miles on it. I really enjoy riding the Ducati on backroads. On highways it rides smooth with lots of torque to go. I have reached speeds of 120mph and the bike still wants to go faster. Stability is great. The only changes I would do is change the seat to a more comfortable one, reviews suggest the corbin seat. Fast and Nimble... there's not too many Ducati's out there (Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki) are the most ridden sport bikes. You'll know when a Ducati rides by with that deep throaty exhaust.

Like just about all who enter here; I've owned a few bikes. GXSR's, Ninjas, and an old Hurricane, this bike is by far the most elequent expression of two wheeled bliss I've ever owned. It handles like a dream, I can't honestly say any of my other have come close as far as handling. Egonomicly it can be a bit uncomfortable, especially for long trips of 200 miles or more; but if we're buzzing around town, it's fun when I'm carving out shortcuts. When I first bought it I had a few issues with being able to cruise around at lower rpm's; it would spit and sputter. I quickly fixed that by remapping, Giannelli exhaust, cutting out the air box and K&N filter, and going down a tooth on the front sprocket. Now it likes to ride on one wheel. As far as quality and dependability; Ducati's top notch. I've had no problems. If you want great performance but not worried about being the fastest man on two wheels, this bike will make you smile and stare at her, each and everyday you own her! Show less

The bike might not be the fastest out there. But definitely one of the most artistic ones. The design is beautiful, not much extra hanging, overdone parts or space. The sound is lovely, even the Harley guys will turn their heads. The look of it is just a piece of art. Just knowing by having one is like having a piece of museum pieces. And for those speed kings out there. It is a wheelie machine... the top speed might lack compare to the inline 4's but I think the rest of the package just covers it. Show less

When you have a bike like this. She is sensuous and beautiful. If you can't see that, you won't like it. She appeals to the senses. She is eye candy and I love to wax her voluptuous curves as much as ride her. The sounds she makes are melodious. Her smell is intoxicating. She stacks curves in a graceful manner that other bikes can't touch. My wife is getting jealous of the attention I lavish upon her. Bravissimo Ducati! Show less

My 900SS is by far the best handling motorcyle I've ever ridden. And I've ridden a CBR f4i, a kawasaki sportbike, and numerous Harleys. The biggest difference between a Jap sportbike and a Ducati is definitely the handling, where the CBR wiggles and fidgets, the Ducati is always rock solid and stable!!! The funny thing is that the CBR was actually voted as the best middleweight sportbike, with complements on its handling. Compared to the Ducati, it couldn't hold a candle to it.....Did I mention how great it sounds too? oh, and if you haven't noticed, only mature men, and not punk kids- ride Ducatis. Face it- jap sportbikes are ghetto bikes. Show less

Does what it is designed to do. Its great having a bike that is rare. Ducs are built to last. Try to find one in a bike boneyard. Folks say " how can you ride that thing". I tell them ," I aint ready for no rockingchair". Show less

Heavy, underpowered, broke. Frame flex was terrible so it was too weak on the track but yet it was to sport oriented to be comfortable on long trips. Sorry Ducati fans but this is bike will require care that I, as a motorcycle "rider", am not willing to give. When you put 4k miles/month on a bike Ducati cannot fill the bill. Parts availability, parts quality, engineering were some of the areas that this particular bike fell short in. I cared for it meticulously and it still broke due to poorly engineered/manufactured parts. Show less

THE 748 IS ONE OF THE BADDEST 7'S OUT ON THE STREET, WITH THAT MONSTROUS SOUND, YOU KNOW THIS THING MEANS BUSINESS. I HAD FAST BY FERRACCI OF PA. DO ALL THE HI-PO WORK ON HER FROM THE FOEZA PIPES TO CARBON FIBER BODY PANELS, AND WHOA!!!, THIS THING IS FOR SERIOUS RIDERS WHO WILL NOT COMPROMISE WITH THE JAP ATTACKS, THAT ONLY THE BEST WILL DO-NUFF SAID.
