I'm currently doing some home remodeling jobs and didn't want to have to take out a home equity loan. The Evo wasn't being used much and my kitchen was a disaster. The Honda's great. Extremely torquey. I could be in the wrong gear and just fly off the jumps because of the torque. I haven't had much experience with the newer 4 strokers though. My last mx'er was a 1990 RM125.

A Red 03 Ducati 999 Monoposto sits next to my Evo.

I'll spare you the whole gear, MSF, start small, talk if it isnt.
Litterbike (R1, Gsxr1000, zx10r, CBR1k) are horid first bikes.
Get a SV650, insurence will be cheap, its a good bike to learn on, it looks like the ducati (girls cant tell), and you wont cry when you drop it.
If its not your first bike get the duc.

if you MUST get a ducati, get a 748. The new bikes are too expencive. anything over a 600 for an inexperienced rider is literally asking for death. And if you are a rider with a slighter build, a literbike is probabally too big. the 600's to 2.9-3.2 (ish) second 0-60 neways! BTW Ducatis are a pain in the a** to get fixed

If you look really hard for 916s you can find some that have very rare paint / engraving jobs in the origional plastics. Also ... you can find some 916s with 996 motors in them. They rock!
Good luck in your search,
jcnel.
P.S. if I still were able to get another one, I'd put a TL1000S next to my EVO ... its like two rare samuari warriors under the same roof.

my brother-in-law put his ZX10r in the showroom to sell, and just picked up a RS250
just to let you guys know, but the liter bikes are making more power from the factory than the hayabusa and have more handling capabilities than it as well.
