[Ducati] bike purchase advice needed

[Jim Calandro]

1999 would be a 748 or a 996.  Based on the price I would bet the former. 
Very radical riding position but higher bars help a lot.  The latter would 
be a big jump from a single and I would only do that with great care.

Subject: [Ducati] bike purchase advice needed


I own a number of singles but am looking to add a modern bike to my garage. 
I don't know much about the newer bikes so I need some input about this 
particular bike for sale.  I've included all the info the seller listed on 
Craig's List.  What size is this bike?  I can't quite make it out from the 
photos, but it appears to be a 998?  Is this a good bike?  Is there a better 
choice for a first-timer?  998, if that's what it is, is bigger than I was 
thinking of going - I had a 749 in mind - but the price is attractive. 
Comments please and thank you!

Scott
