| | I was wondering how experienced you should be to ride a ducati 999. I am asking this because I have wanted one for as long as I can remember but the only problem is I am only sixteen. The only experience I have is riding my father's triumph legend. Despite my age I am very responsible compared to those idiots that think the only part of motorcycling is going fast. Is this bike a wise choice for me? |

| | I live in Virginia dude and recently got a Duc myself. A 998. IF you've ridden motorcycles for years and dirtbikes then it shouldn't be a problem. However 16 is a little young to have your motorcycle be a brand new Ducati. Sorta pricey for a beginner. I'm no pro or expert but I've had a good season or so on a CBR F2. |

| The 999 is an expert bike only!!!! Say again: the 999 is like riding on rails. Get a Japanese 600 first, get some experience and learn to ride. Then get a 750 do it again. The better rider will always beat the other guy.

| I would say that a 999 is too much for a beginner. I have 17 yrs of exp on the street/track, and am making a move onto one now.  )) Try something smaller. If it is your first bike, even the current 600 supersports(inline fours) are a bit much except for (SV650, YZF600R, F4I etc). Thats not to say that you wouldn't get into any trouble with these. They're just a bit more forgiving. |
