| | 1 quick question, i'm a very level headed and responsible person. I was told that the the S2R 800 would be a great first bike if you have taken the MSF course and passed with flying colours. with all that being said the S2r1000 is the better buy. adjustable suspension, better brakes but, more power... would a beginner like me be in over his/her head is it beginner friendly like the S2R800 is it too much bike for a noob |

| I passed the MSF course at the end of January and have been riding my 81 honda 650 almost all the time since. I test rode the 1000 where the lead you down an access road and around town some. they don't let you do anything crazzy, not that i would...yet....but i found it very manageable. no accidental over twists of the throttle and almost losing the bike or anything.

| I have the s2r800. It was my first street bike. I've had it for a year and though I like it I would be happier with the s2r1000 for all the things you mentioned. Go demo. Ducati dealers, at least in Seattle, have demo bikes for all their models. I believe you will find the 1k managable.
