Default Is there something wrong with me ?

I think there might be.

Point 1 :

I dont like the Ducati 1098, I think it looks cheap and to much like a japanese bike.

Point 2 :

When I'm out on Liz's 749, I find myself hankering after my GSXR, In fact to be honest I fricken hate riding Liz's Duke.

Hmm

i saw a 1098 at boxhill a few weeks ago and it looks a bit like a trumpet 675 and tbh i'd rather have the 675!

again i'm not too keen on the 749/999 either (no offence to Liz or anyone else whos got one) they just don't do it for me not ridden one though

nothing wrong with you, i dont much like the looks of any Ducatis , even the 916. everyone bangs on about it, but i think it looks dated now.

i would never buy a duke due to their reliability problems.

but then i thing the R6 and ZX6-R are to of the best looking bike out, so what do i know??

Oh dear.Blasphemy being spoken.
I happen to think Ducati reached a design peak with the 916 and it's derivatives so they will struggle for years to make anything that looks better,even if the newer bikes are improved in every other way.
As for riding one I wouldnt know as I havent ridden a Ducati since the late 70s.
