I'm wondering why Ducati bikes are better then jap bikes? It's because the handling?

The handling is perhaps the one thing that separates a Duc from the rest of the sportbikes out there. Where most bikes off the showroom would need a stabilizer bar, and suspension changes for track use, the Ducati is ready to rock. A fellow friend of mine who has ridden almost every bike out there says it best when he says..."it's just the best handling bike out there". Not to mention, having won more World superbike titles than all other makes combined and having the aura of a two wheeled Ferrari. My bro in law had a few CBR's and his friend a Yamaha r6, they were persuaded by me to purchase a Duck, and now, both say that they will not buy any other bike again. They were amazed on how much better the Ducati was to their Jap bikes.

Handling and the way the motor puts the power to the rear wheel. A twin engine has power throughout the the rev range....unlike an in-line four cylinder (rice burner) that has the majority of it's power concentrated in the higher RPMs...aka...."powerband"

Better is a very subjective term. With Japanese bikes, you probably get more "bang for your buck," as they are much less expensive to own and deliver a lot of performance. Italian bikes are moving works of art with very high-end components and better overall handling characteristics. The Italians have a different philosophy --much more stylistically inclined, much higher quality build, but at a price.
