I tried one round cadwell and I wasn't too impressed, it wasn't helped by the front being a bit off but I prefered my[1] SV650 and the NC35 comes a very close second to that.

Although I love the looks of the 748...

[1] Which is far from standard, if nothing else it's only 50cc down on a 748

go do a search on some of my old posts on the joys and lows of ducati ownership. if you are expect normal superbike running costs per year forget it. if you struggle to find money for tyres and put of doing jobs that cost money - again its not for you. they need not be expensive but turn out that way if you buy a dog.
i throw around a grand at mine per year in servicing and parts. i could run 2 x rc30's and a NC30 for that money

you could always add another 100cc to it and get a brand spanking new 848 :D
