I love my 748S because it is a work of art. I love the way it sounds when the throttle is twisted.. I love the way the yellow glows in the sunlight. I love the way i look on it when i am wearing all black. I love the fact that the termignoni pipes are cool to the touch. I will start hating it when i have to take it in for its first service. since i bought it two weeks ago, i´ve been on it EVERY single day. Other japanese bikes may be faster but there is no bikew on the planet that will make you feel better than a ducati.. especially a yellow one.. well, as for it being uncomfy to ride, well i guess its coz its the only bike ive ever ridden but ive gotten used to it..
