Re: Gave Ny Dealer The Bad News

That's why I don't watch the news. We seem pretty much isolated from the market crap up here.

If you ignore it, it might go away. :whistle:

The "up" side is the gas prices are coming down ..........

Re: 2005 Multistrada DS-1000 w/4332 miles - $8995??

We've done consecutive 1000 km days two-up on an '05 S model and wouldn't hesitate to reccomend the MTS to anyone. It's, by far , the most satisfying bike I've ever ridden. There's minor quirks, but the over-all experience is unique. The Multi has a character that riders of other bikes don't ...

Re: Your biased opinions, please...

We have the hard bags on ours.They come off easy and the mounts don't look terrible,in my opinion . My Girlfriend loved the look right away and it took me a ride to get used to it but love the look now !! Also you must remember -- the Ducati will get to anywhere you want to go and when you're there ...

Re: Your biased opinions, please...

I was looking through some old posts and found one of your assesments on these fine German machines. That sums up an unbiased opinion. I almost bought one in '88. Got invited to a wine & cheese affair for the new '89 model intro. Went for beer & chicken wings instead and bought a Concours. Never ...

Re: Your biased opinions, please...

No experience with Guzzi except a test ride on a Norge 1200. Power from the bike is weak compared to the Multi. Would definitely get boring fast. The only neat thing about it was revving it at a light. The twist is kind of a good feeling.
We ride the Multi 2 up ( stock seat,windscreen and bars ...

Re: Gettin' a used Multi 1000s

Those V-rods are very nice. If you pick up a Multi you will find a big difference. Not as quick but you won't have to slow down for the corners anymore. Good luck. You have good taste in bikes !!

Re: The new Japanese Multistrada

The Kaws been out in Canada for a year now. Seems popular enough. Riders seem to enjoy them -- that's all that's important,I guess. Biggest difference is the Kaw will get you home and the Ducati will get you laid. ( commited to a relationship,just an observation )I've got over 20,000 kms on my 1000 ...

Re: New ducatist ... or not?

I`ve gone back and looked at maintenance costs on five other bikes I`ve owned (since new) and find I`m spending no more money keeping our `05 S running good. We`ve covered over 10,000 kms in all weather with no problems at all. My service costs are not outrageous and get the bike back within 24 ...

Re: SV650S to MTS620 - Hey! Hey!

We bought our first Ducati this year. It was a dream come true for me.It`s like riding a piece of art and people respond to them that way. On another side-it`s also a VERY capable motorcycle.I was surprised how comfortable it is for a bike that handles so easily! You can tell from this site the ...

Re: would you buy considering

Tigers have usually sat in the showroom a while around here.My dealer sells both Triumph and Ducati(Ottawa Goodtime Centre;main line`s Kaw) I think a lower and updated Tiger might stir some interest to them! The inverted forks and 17" rims look more exotic than earlier models and you can bet their ...

Re: would you buy considering

I`ve owned both as well (`02 Tiger&`05 MTS 1000) Love both bikes. Ducati is a tough bike and rain never has been a problem. I found the Tiger a bit "wallowy" in the corners but more able to take off roading (light). The triple is a very strong motor. We like the Ducati more than the Triumph but I ...
