Styles: Are you looking for any specific style of bike? Ducati either makes it, or has something close. Whether the track oriented Panigale, the sport touring SuperSport, the Diavel Cruiser, dual sports, touring… they make pretty much everything, even cafe racer style scramblers. They are all very attractive looking bikes.
Design: The bikes are engineered intelligently, items are not normally placed in areas that are hard to get to, and single sided swingarms are more common in this brand than in many other brands. These features make them relatively easy to wrench on yourself which will be relevant shortly.
Speed: On the literbike and above models, you get some serious speed and acceleration out of them. On the smaller bikes you get a decent bang for the buck. My air cooled 803cc Monster puts about 80HP out, and goes pretty well, when the only air cooled comparisons put out half the power. It’ll do, it’s not power to write home about, but it’ll move you. The bigger liquid cooled twins will put out close to 200HP!
Value: While many people believe that Ducatis are expensive, when you compare like- vehicles, they’re actually low or average in initial price. Spend $22K on a Harley touring bike, or spend $17K on a Diavel Strata touring bike, and get some real performance from it.
