General Comments:

Had this bike for 11 years now. Came with performance chip, carbon cans, Sargent seat, and higher touring wind screen. Added Ducati Design head lamps and 1 inch 7 degree risers. Pirelli Angel GT tires work very well for me.

At 64 I can still ride as long or far as I want. Comfortable 2 up, forgiving handling, and linear power delivery I have not experienced on any other bike I have owned or ridden. The 2 valve motor in itself has never had a problem, has tons of torque, can go as fast as I care to, and is less dollars to maintain.

Averaging all costs for various repairs and maintenance, I don't find them to be any more or less than other motorcycles.

A lot of people think this is a current model Ducati. It still looks that good.

I love it, my wife loves it, and it always puts a smile on my face.

I'm keeping it.

Faults:

Absolutely nothing.

General Comments:

I have only changed the seat to a US made Corbin (shortened in length, not height) and added 1 inch bar risers with 7 degrees more angle back. I have done consecutive days of 700 mile trips at 53, now at 63 350 miles it's still comfortable. I will never sell this bike, being the old guy riding a classic Ducati around.
