Style. It's a very stylish bike. Japanese bikes don't seem to have that.
hayabusa gsx-1300r all the way!
I do not have specific differences....but my friends that have motorcycles say that ducatis to bikes is like ferrari to car....fast, beefy, sexy, expensive european beauty
If it's your first bike don't even think of a Ducati. You're probably going to scratch it up and mess up the engine at the beginning. Just get a 250-500cc bike and after a year or two maybe get a different one.
Suzuki, Honda & Yamaha are made in Asia (Japan) Ducati is made in Europe. Half the fun of buying a bike is deciding which one is right for U. Look at & if possible try out as many different ones as U can before buying one. Remember, once U buy one the money is spent, then its "Oh my god, i wish i had bought that one instead". To avoid this scenario, do a little research. Mostly have a good time shopping around before U spend !
My girlfriend has a cycle. Of course she is only on it once a month for a few days. Get a Harley-Davidson. Biker chicks love 'em.
Suzuki and Yams are in line 4s. The Duke is a V twin. That is why the engine note is deeper, more rumbly. Although the Dukes have had a tricky past mechanically, they are now as reliable as other bikes. Basically, the Duke is the two wheeled Ferrari. Its red, Italian and sex on a stick. It just has more cred than the Jap jobs. Luck
Not a real lot they all have a Stinky, smelly, noisy, pollution making fossil fuel powered engine. And who in the cycling section really needs one of them. It's even difficult to transport a bicycle on any of them.
Ducati is Italian while the others are Japanese. But they ALL belong in the MOTORCYCLES category, not bicycles. Hear that, Yahoo? CHANGE THIS CATEGORY TO BICYCLING!!!
please post your question in the proper category (try Motorcycles, because this is Cycling, as in Bicycling)
