Scarey?

That too. But I'd like to have a go on it!

Of course it would be an air-cooled v-twin.

Unfortunately, my experiences with my first 800ss have taught me:

1. Don't bother with salvage.
2. Don't buy a Ducati without the red key
3. Never buy another new Ducati until they drop the ridiculous integrated ecu/immobiliser thing (especially as they carry no weight with insurance companies)

I bought the first bike at what I considered to be a bargain price of £1700. Except when you add the cost of the replacement clocks, ecu and ignition etc the total comes to pretty well £3k. My latest acquisition cost me £3100 with 800 miles, DP pipes, original pipes, stands, cover and Optimate.

So, I cocked up expensively with the first bike but, came up trumps with the 3rd.

Sounds like a learning curve to me...................
If you come across a 1000SS with the twin spark motor give me a shout-I missed one at Bikenders recently at £2,200.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As I've got one of these as well then I'm not biased or fussed
