    Nice. I'd prefer to start out on the 1000, because I know I'll like it more for the street, but I know it'd be a mistake on the track. I think it's got half an inch extra from the seat to the pegs as well.

    Depending on your physical size, I would recommend thinking outside the box . . . if you can find a 1990 Ducati 851 Superbike, in good condition, buy it!
    If you like to be rickey-racer in the corners, with an exhaust sound to die for, a bike that is going up in value, buy it!
    If you are too large or too tall, don't buy it. I had one and loved it until I realized I was too big for it. If you have short legs and long arms you will be okay.
    The 851 style and design, which I think was the last good looking Ducati, possibly was copied by Honda for the VFR800 bikes. I could be wrong.
    Google it (with images) and check it out.
