jhenley17 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Where did I flip flop? What are you even trying to say? Any time Ducati is even mentioned, you chime in with you "lol Ducatis are stupid, they break every three days, Honda 4 lyfe, pic/video drop" bullshit. I've argued that that isn't true. My two quotes don't contradict each other. I never said that a Ducati would be as reliable as a Honda, but they don't break every thirty seconds like you seem to think. That you call my first quote "utterly absurd" is just hilarious. That you take that to mean that I said that a Ducati will give you no more problems than a 18-year-old Honda motor design and is far superior tells me just how stupidly defensive you are for a brand.

jimmyp Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I had test ridden a couple of monsters at a demo event, only got to sit on the SS, but it reminded me of my old vfr. So I decided to look for a used vfr, and it turned out Honda still made the vfr, and you could get one pretty cheap. So I did. Thanks Ducati.

LOL - yeah Honda did an awful job marketing such a great bike - hardly anyone knows what my bike is even though it has shiny VFR Interceptor badges stuck to the side - more often than not they think it's a Ducati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trust a Ducati to get me out of my own driveway - and it's downhill! One of the most archaic, ridiculous, outdated, dinosaur opinions I have ever read. Modern VFR's break down as much as any modern Ducati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhenley17 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Dude, you don't make YouTube videos and you don't use memes when you start to cry because someone doesn't worship Honda, its best to just leave it. You don't count, even if you've owned Ducatis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO - you literally just said you were "done" and yet you're still posting in this thread - you really are a flip flopper! As far as recovery, I'd suggest joining Flip Floppers Anonymous and going for a ride on your Ducati - just remember to bring a fire extinguisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhenley17 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I can tell you like to read, Greg. That's definitely an asset for you, keep it up. No, I've conceded that when it comes to motorcycles, you really know your stuff. I'm just here to congratulate you on these sick burns. I've never seen such wit before, I am in awe.

Member Contributer Bent Posted January 17, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 17, 2018 FWIW, approximately 10 years ago, a forum member on this forum went very "negative and baby-like", got pounced on unmercifully for a LONG LONG period of time, and the entire forum lost. I, for one, didn't take part, and in fact, just left the place for a long long time. Don't underestimate some things.......you fill in the blanks.

Audible Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 No real mention of the price difference between the VFR-14 & Super sports. You could add a slip on, quick shifter and Lithium battery to the VFR, still be cheaper than the basic super sports and would compare a bit better being a little bit lighter, bit more power and sounding that much more awesome! You could even empty out 5 litres of fuel and take off the centre stand for another several kilo weight reduction. When the fuel guage reads empty, just fill up with 13 litres instead of 18 litres and voila, a 16 litre fuel tank just like a super sports!

gray Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 When comparing the 2014 + Interceptor/VFR to the Ducati SuperSport you have to factor in what the price is NOW. Even with a slip on exhaust I was still a little under $ 7000 +tax/lic...... while the base Ducati SuperSport is $12000-$13000 + more tax/lic here in So Cal. You would also have to spend $329 for a seat that is lower and $259 for a rear seat cover .....both are included in the Interceptor, though you give up traction control/abs/etc on the base model. It always comes down to personal preference and money and the Interceptor looks pretty good ! P.S. I know the Ducati is new vs the Interceptor has been out for a while. So if you want more HP/lighter/ newer tech you get it in the Ducati .....it just cost a lot more. Messages.app.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
