While the Ducati 750 SS is a good choice the Ducati Desmosedici RR has to be one of, if not the greatest but the PaulSmart 1000 and Sport 1000 are surely the two most attractive sports made today. I'm more of a dual sport kind of guy however and have a KTM 950 Adventure S. I thought I was finished with bikes but apparently not. It was a gift from a family member.
I was disappointed in Carrols replys in this thread. I wanted to know what he thought the best sport bike would be. I've not met Carrol but I imagine him as a Norton Commando 750 Roadster type of guy. If he rode that is.
