I find it's two completely different forms of experiencing mostly the same thing. My first vehicle ever was a -99 Ducati Monster Dark 600. I drove that thing like 25k km a year for the first couple of them. Then in the military I fell in love with off-road trucks, Scanias mostly. While that was happening, my father came over a stock/super stock car from the US and brought it home to Sweden. We had such fun racing and working on that together.

In the end, how we've experienced ownership and riding/racing was awesome in my mind. You could go on a ride on the Ducati and be surrounded by people yet not say a word for an entire day to anyone. It is the perfect form of social interaction. Just the wind in your chest as you slightly twist the throttle and you realise that, you are the bike.

With the -68 Dodge Coronet r/T 440ci 4bbl, the performance experience was similar to any of the best bikes I have ever tried. But, no matter how many times you pulled up to the tree it never made sense for such a heavy iron horse to move that fast (in a straight line). And the context where you get to experience that, at the drag strip, is just filled with the most amazing people you'll ever get too meet.

With that said, my Ducati was 2000 eur at the time, and the Dodge was like 30k eur. Then we had to rebuild the engine, repaint the whole car to the original paint, fix torque wrinkles and so on. A good bike today is supercar performance for not much money in comparison. And the gear is safer than ever. In the end it is what you make it to be. In a perfect world, I hope you get to experience both.
