2. why aren't there many Ducati owners? 1198 s looks killer. why isn't it as popular as R1 and CBR1000RR?

3. i read somewhere that a hayabusa is recommended over the R1 for a first time or inexperienced guy planning to buy a SBK. why is it so? or did i read it wrong?
I think Busa is among the lowest SBKs in height....
Ducati is expensive and a newcomer in India.... and you dont see them much in Indian movies......
Yes, a busa is highly recommended over R1 for first timers as if you are not careful and quite often follow your heart than your head, R1 can and is quite able to kill you.
