this totally just made my day.

I have done a test ride on the S before I bought my k1200s and it is amazing. i dont think you would go wrong with either. set up a demo ride on them and see what you think. BMW +1

i got the same on my previous bike, spencer was great to deal with and the turn around was fast. dont be discouraged at first, it takes several hundred miles to break in...once it is broken in you will love it! i loved it on my ninja.

ill be there, rain or shine!

i saw that, but that doesnt mean they will not try to screw ya or be dicks to deal with in the process:dunno:

anyone know who would be a better suggestion to work with, Motohio or Ohio Motorcycle in columbus?

Thanks RSV for your input and support. After checking the insurance rates for me on the streetfighter...wow. ill keep ya'll updated on what i decide and your help is appreciated.

Jrmm i havent made up my mind yet actually. hell i have no idea what to do, what i do know is that is one hell of a list RSV thanks! i hate making decisions sometimes, but when i do pull the trigger on something it is going to be grand.

bump- i need some help guys

Well jrmm the Ducati is what I have always wanted and I would like to think that I can do most of the upkeep maintenance for the bike. I want the naked bike because i love the new styling of the SF....the M1100 is growing on me now too. I really would like a liter size bike and the ergos of the nakeds as opposed the supersports. I like doing the twisties but I would like to take extended trips to West Va, PA, and maybe a ride to Washington D.C. those would be the extent of my longer trips, and they do not occur very often, i usually just ride around mohican area and south to coshocton and hocking. I have concerns with A. the wind, B. on the M1100 the smaller gas tank for short/mid range riding. What others would you all suggest if against the SF/M1100 because of the upkeep and wind. My first bike was a Suz Bandit and I did notice on the highway the wind knockin the bike around but I also thought that was due to my lack of experience? And i LOVE the Twin on sportbikes as opposed to the 4s so that is a big thing for me too --- hope this helps and hope for good suggestions!

so you guys with Duc experience, the MSRP...is that THE price or do they deal at all on them? like for a 2009 SF or M1100??

i thought about not having to finance a bike but hey...i want and need to upgrade now. lol

Thanks Dubguy, I do like to take longer road trips dont really know how bad the wind/no fairing would be for that. I have sat on one and the ergos seemed more comfortable than the 1098. It also looks like id have room for my sport bags, not sure tho, but would need some room for some clothes lol

thanks for all of your responses! I am still debating, it is so tempting but for me this will be a huge upgrade and even Dubguy you say this wouldnt be your primary bike, why you say that? just curious. the naked superbike has really grown on me. i was debating on that or the new monster but the looks of the Duc SF just really caught all of my attention. The tuono i have looked into but feel like it looks like an alien, with exhausts from the '90s, i wish they would redesign it because i would like to jump on the aprilia! Any suggestions for test rides?
