    Buy the bike that's for you, not the one everyone else would want. You'll get far more enjoyment out of owning a bike more suited for you.

    For what it's worth, the 999 will be vastly more comfortable than an SC1000. The SC's are known to be one of (if not the) most uncomfortable bikes ever.

    Re: POLL QUESTION>> I NEED HELP

    for what its worth the comfort is part of the deciding factor.. even just sitting on it the 999 is more comfy.. i equally like both bikes. and its not so much the everyone else wanting it .. its the exclusivity ... its one of 150 and its signed by Eric Bostrom and Neil Hodges for christ sake... the s1000 is however more my style ...

    Re: POLL QUESTION>> I NEED HELP

    Just out of curiousity, what is it about the Sport1000S that makes you want it so bad? Is it the retro looks, the air-cooled engine, or the feeling of riding something "retro?"

    And while I would never call a Ducati Superbike 'comfortable,' I'll agree with the others and say the 999 is much less taxing on the wrists and back.

    999...it'll be worth more down the rode, and it'll hold it's value better. Thee 999 is slowly but surely gaining cult status among motorcyclists

    jeez....follow what makes you happy, if you get the 999, you will always long for your dream bike...the S1000...its a no brainer....and dilemna is with an N...that's another debate in itself.
