Dude the 998 is identical to the 748SuperchargedRS said:As you guys know I am shopping for a bike, so I just am looking for imput.
So the 998 is the Duc = to the R1?
I googled it, it doesnt look as nice as the 748, I mean damn looks like it got hit with the ugly stick....the R1 so far seems to be ontop of my list

The ducs look good, but mechanically they are just not on par with the jap bikes. This certainly goes for the 2004 crop of new jap liter bikes - you can't go wrong with either of them.
Of course the sound from the dual underseat Sil pipes on the Duc was sweet, but I think certainly the Yammy has caught up to the Italians in the design department, and is light years ahead technically.

...you do know what happens when you assume right?
I have ridden (HD Sportster 1200), I am just shopping around for a new bike (sport bike), the Monster looks to me like a sport/cruiser weird bike and the others are also sport bikes like the R1, none the less I am probably going to get a R1 I just am feeling things out a little.
I would rather ask a stupid question, then get ****ed over by making a mistake.
So lets keep the assumptions to a minimum and stick with the facts ok
Like everyone stated, they are very different bikes. Hands down the R1 is the most powerful and best bang for the buck.SuperchargedRS said:I am looking at getting a R1 but I also like the Ducati Monster or the Ducati 748. I was wondering what you guys see as a diffrence between the two (the Monster 900, 748 and the R1).
Thanks
