# I used to think my Norton Commando 850 was fast.
Let me guess. 200 horsepower.

# No, it's only around
(depending on settings) 140HP but it's an 848 evo race bike and weighs over 60kg less than a supersport 600RR racer.
It's the most powerful bike in its class. At the dealer, that's before you fit it with race trim.
lovely bike. Too small for me. Track wise i'm waiting on the new 1199 Panigale after last having a 999RR sport bike.

(I'm on a 1100S Hypermotard right now. With an old 2004 Suzuki GSXR1300 Hayabusa for sale )

# it sits between the
sport bikes and the litres. So that class. ( like the 750 etc.)

It's great. I can get a discount. ( seriously )

# I've always loved Ducatis
The desmos were cool.

I'd be terrified to ride one now. Pedal power is my thing. I'm on an Ibis Mojo. It's kind of the Ducati of mountain bikes, maybe.

# Ducati make mountain bikes too :)
I was darting around Silverstone paddock on one all weekend ( It's less embarrassing than using a honda or yamaha scooter)
