2014 Ninja 1000 or 2014 Ducati Monster 1200 - Thoughts?
Both these bikes have a bunch of the new electronics on them, Ninja has ABS, traction control, and power levels. The Ducati had ABS, traction control, power levels integrating traction control and ABS, and a slipper clutch!
These motorcycles seems like great deals from a control - safety point of view. If the once in a life-time bad thing occurs and the electronic system saves you - it seems worth much more than every penny These are sport type rather than the big tourers - and, heck, the Z1000 shares the Ninja stuff, too, so it's included. Not much more than FZ1 new price - for the Ninja - when considering new prices and what you are getting for that additional cost. The Ducati is is a little more - but that is usual. But it also has more modes and slipper clutch!
Even seems like these motorcycles might be more desirable as they age a little - get into the used market - maybe holding their prices somewhat higher.
What do you guys think? Good stuff? Worth the price? Which is better?
