I went for a ride to Ducati South London to see if my suspicions are founded. They are. I discovered that the Ducati SuperSport 800 in in fact a DAMN sexy bike. It's also a very good bike to be starting out on once my DAS has been sorted. They never had the Matt Black one in the showroom (which I'll be getting) but they had the Grey and Red one with the same colour scheme as my little 125.

Whadya reckon? Yay or nay?

It's NU13 so it's at the lower end of the scale for sportsbikes methinks. I know it'll be a bit but I have a year's no claims and I'm 25. Might not be able to get it straight away anyway in which case it might be 2 years no claims and I'll be 26.

I reckon it'll be ok. Ya think I'l have probs then? sad1.gif

They are nice bikes but have the Dukes not got a reputation for expensive and regular servicing.

It does look good right enough. cool2.gif

Insurance is an issue... However, you never know.... Ducati may subsidise theirs like triumph do... I pay less for my group 15 daytona than i did for my group 13 hornet.

29years old, 0 ncb - circa £600 fully comp.

Having said that, you know you wont be happy riding around on anything other than the bike you have set your sights on. This is my experience

looks lovely.... drool laughcont.gif

Hulloo!

I live in Leatherhead, 5 mins off Junction 9 on the M25 but I work in Wimbledon. I have a mate who lives in Hooley, a mate who lives in Horley, a mate who lives in Sanderstead, a mate who lives in West London so I tend to be darting around all over the place... hehe ooh2.gif

Never been to Lakeside.. sad1.gif
