My advice ...
1) Auto-trader-bikes is by far the best place to look for sensible prices.
2) Ducati Aylesbury are not cheap !
3) At this time of year almost everyone (Duc-Ayles included) will take a knock on the price to get a sale !
4) My SS feels like an armchair to me - I'm 6ft 1in - but I find the 916/748 comfy too ! If you are buying from a dealer - GET A TEST RIDE !!!
5) The air-cooled engines are very robust - and because they do not breathe as well as some other duc engines at high revs ... I don't think they get thrashed as much as some others do. Ride them on the mid-range and enjoy !
6) Have a search for the new 1000SS - they are on sale pre-reg for some amazing prices !
