bike #3 for the season.

I like a Ducati. Aren't they supposedly not very reliable, though? That's my main concern... The Triumph looks nice, too though.

I think Ducati's get a bad rap because when they DO break, they can be expensive to fix.

From my limited experience with them (i.e. I know people who own them), it's all about having a good shop or dealership near by.

That said, I think they're "quirky," but not unreliable. A dry-clutch V-twin is just going to have different problems than a wet-clutch I-4.

I wouldn't shy away from them due to reliability issues; especially not one as new as you're looking for.

Good deal... I've found a couple of 848's I'm getting info on. A little over my "budget", but if I like it, I'm pretty sure I can convince myself it's ok. :)

I thought the 848 is a wet clutch... Who's wrong here?

i want this. badly. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/1748026571.html

and it's cheap enough that it could actually happen. Problem is, I would love it too much to sell it, and not ride it enough to keep it. Ultimately, I know I need a VFR, but I so want something this sexy (and cheap!!)

Because it's a scam. There's no way any sane person is going to sell that bike so cheap.

thats what I was thinking but wanted to verify :D. I'd be there tonight with cash if it was the real deal

edit: i should've looked closer, doesn't appear to be an ohio plate either

Maybe you are cool in person but you sound like a tool, are you trying to be an attention whore?

It would appear so. Surprised me, too. :rolleyes:

Jason is apparently cool-ish.

No results on whether or not I'm an attention whore. The only result for that just says "no, that's Sara. :dunno:

Triumph Daytona 675 fits everything you are looking for, I think.

not going to lie, if i could have afforded it, I would be on an 848 instead. probably the 848 dark.

how about an aprilia mille ?
