2007 Ducati Supersport 800

This bike is a joy to ride.

This bike has very good power and outstanding handling. It is a true sportsbike and is designed to be driven that way. You do not have to speed to enjoy this bike. The handling and rock solid stability make riding it at any speed a joy. ( I am 52 years old)

It shifts best in the mid RPM range and pulls well up to about 8250RPM. After that the motor can still handle the revs but will not accelerate with the same "oomph" beyond that.

The fit and finish is outstanding and it is a real looker. If you park this bike you can bet that someone will be looking at it when you come back. It has a real exotic feel about it.

It is very comfortable if it is ridden like a sportsbike is supposed to be ridden - with your back and legs supporting you and not your arms and wrists. I have seen a few reviews about this model and people have complained about sore wrists. If your wrists are sore after riding this bike (or any sportbike) it could be combination of two factors - 1. The brake and clutch levers are set too high above your hands - make sure that they are easy to reach with the tips of your fingers - if not, then you are bending your wrist too far back to control them and this will cause pain (adjust your levers to be angled lower). 2. You should be able to ride the bike with your back and leg muscles supporting you only - your wrists and hands should very lightly hold the grips and should not support you at all. If you are leaning on your arms and wrists while riding this will cause you pain. Strengthen your back and abdominal muscles and practice sitting on a kitchen chair with your arms low and stretched well out in front of you (Arch (Slouch} your back while you do this).

All in all, if you want a true sportbike that is different from your typical cookie cutter sportbike, and gets admired, and is a joy to ride, then get this bike.
