Just rode my RS to a guys house and in exchange I got a nice tasty envelope full of cash (Hardly lost any of my original buying price).
Put it in the local rag to test the water on whether it'd sell...........phones rung off the hook the very first day
Didn't even get chance to wash it ! oh well not to worry.
Now time to fit in my theory and direct access as soon as I can fit it round work.
I'm rambling now but i'm gonna miss that revvy girl
Bye Bye

...I'd just like to point out here Andrew... that the tubing on that thing is PINK !!
Also... remember I mentioned about the bike rack for a ZZR6... I found it last night whilst searching for a battery charger for a mate... shout me if you know anyone... will be cheapppp
gl with the search... an SV650 is probably still your best option bud

You forgot to mention that the SV will spend a lot more time clocking up the miles while the Duke is at the dealers getting fixed! Anything italian built looks nice but is crap.Screwy wrote: I would still say get a Monster , Whilst SV,s are great starter bikes there pig ugly and bland as boiled rice but as I've said before I'm biased

There's a post on the <a href="http://www.ducati851and888.com/showthread.php?t=25" target="_blank">851/888 forums</a> from a guy with a 92 851 that's done 100,000 km with nothing bar basic parts and maintenance , The only problems I've had with mine is worn starter motor brushes (replaced them myself £23.00) and a coolant pipe blowing off (New aluminium section made with lip to hold hose on) I've been on rideouts with up to 60 Ducatis in the group and the only bike that I can remember breaking down was a Suzuki GSXF-750 and me when I discovered my starter motor bushes where worn 25 years a go then yes I would agree that they left a lot to be desired (and my bike is 18 years old ) but modern Dukes are in a different league .
