        I paid $3500 (Well $2700 and $800 for my CB400 in trade)

        Plus $300 for tires and $200 for a 2nd set of rims...


        I do my own work and working on these 2 valvers isn't all that hard.

                I am getting new tires Wed. Those are the rain tires.


                I don't know what all these people's problems are with Ducati's?!!?

                I have had one since 1996 and have not had any major problems (other than WANTING to spend money on em for carbon fiber and such!)

                            Nope, Still got the Hawk. One of them is more than likely gonna be my B bike though.

                              Well it's true that in greece having a ducati for a track bike is totally mad . Drop it and then you 'll have to sell your house to fix it up . The most common cucatti bike is the Monster . There are as well some other models like the 999 but one can only see them in Sunday's rides .

                              That is a good looking bike anyway DOC . Enjoy it
