Hi Stumpy,
Just noticed that you replied to a GS post of mine about buying a 1100 or 1150 a few months back. The web's a small world...
I was seriously tempted by a GS after spending some time blatting around on Themla with Tiff Coates down in Brazil. Unfortuately I tried a 1200 GS first so the 1100 felt a bit lardy after that.
I've also (re)discovered that I really, truly love Ducatis. Sad, but true.
Have fun on the duke.
