i like all bikes if i won the lottory i would have one of all of em but i really want something that is going to be practical cool and most of all fun.

Not new, but used they don't hold value well. They are very twitchy, you need to rev the hell out of them for power and not the most comfortable ergo's. You can get the YZF600R from Yamaha for about $6500 new.

Since this is not really about performance, take a look at resale values of the two models you are interrested in. I think that you will find that the 883 is a better long term investment.

Have you seen the 999r's? MOTHER OF GOD! Granted there like 22k, but its the end all of sportbikes. Granted you did say usually, so i'll leave you alone. I was gonna pipe up with the ducks track record....
Yea your totally right though, USUALLY, people buy ducks for status. And in So. Cali, EVERYONE buys harleys for status. You can't go past a starbucks on a sunday morning without seeing 20 of em.

i just had my Monster 750 Stolen yesterday
However, DON'T compare a Harley and a Ducati. It's like Deawoo vs. Ferrari. On another note, you will want something with more guts than the 650 Monster, Trust me.
This is what i am looking to get when the insurance company settles up:
Either that or trade the Spec-V in and use the cycle money as a down payment on an EVO RS... hard choice.

Get an R6 then, it's slightly slower, lol. I would love to have an R6 someday, or a Hyabusa(j/k, I'd kill myself), or an Aprillia, or....a Ducati! Get the Ducati!!!!

Harley's kick ***. IMHO, Sportsters are like the "Porsche Boxsters" of the bike world. I think they're way too skinny looking. If you want a Harley, then step up to a VSRC. Otherwise, I'd opt for the Duc.
Dang, am I the only who read his post stating he doesn't want crotch rocket?
EDIT: Also, take a look at Buell - they make some sick looking street cruisers.
