Have been offered £2.5k trade in against a new Ducati ST3. Anyone want to beat that offer. I can't wait to get shot of it so i can make some new buddies in the Ducati forum. They don't have so many knob faced knobsters there.

Bye Loosers!
yup..........pure genius

Gentlemen (and ladies)

We all know the real truth hear!


The curvy is defo the better bike!

Is easier on the eye to look at! with all those nice smooth curves!!

Its not all angular and "square"

Its easier to work on (no fiddly injection system, oh and before you start shouting about carb icing I have never had it before :P so as such i don't believe it exists. Its just a myth made up by jealous point riders! :P)

Its just a better bike!

You can argue about loooks (which is subjective) and engine performance (which is near enough the same). However it all comes down to one fact:

Pointies have a clock. Curvy's on the other hand, don't.

Remember.............

..........."it's hip to be square"

Oh yes and Ducky - couldn't be anything to do with the curvy being lower for your lil' legs could it?

I like both bikes in fact.
