Awesome motorcycle in great condition. Legendary Ducati 916 desmoquattro motor - winner of 4 world championships. Performance of the v-twin motor is matched by solid, stable handling. ST seating position is midway between sportbike and upright. Comfortable ergos equals hundreds of miles in comfort. Great bike for an experienced sportbike rider who wants a more upright riding position but doesnt want to sacrifice performance (not a good bike for beginners). Theres a lot of value in this bike for someone who likes to SportTour with an emphasis on Sport.
Extras:
- Sargeant seat
- Steel-braided brake lines
- Heated grips
- Throttlemeister
- Carbon Fiber bits - Rear Hugger, Front Fender, Tank and Ignition Protectors, Side Air Vents
I am the third adult owner of this bike. I have maintenance records from the previous two owners. All recommended services have been done according to schedule. Just did the 30k service. Valves were in spec, and rockers looked great. Whatever kinks this bike might have had have been worked out. Runs like a charm. Starts every time. No issues, no problems.
Other stuff:
- 1999
- 34xxx miles
- Registered through July, 2009 / Clear title
- Fully adjustable front and rear suspension - tuned by Dave Moss / Catalyst Reaction Suspension Tuning (very compliant, comfortable ride, even on rough roads)
- Michelin Pilot Power tires - new rear tire
- Runs fine on regular gas, 200+ miles tank range
- Never crashed, but shows some use - nicks, scratches, etc
KBB Retail - $5760
Asking price - $4500
I dont have to sell this bike, so dont waste my time or yours with lowball offers. Its a gem of a motorcycle; theres a lot of value for the price.
Test rides with cash in hand and M1. I dont have full coverage, gotta have collateral.
Im selling only because I have limited space and I need a commuter bike I can put 15-20k annual miles on. Will consider trade for a Vstrom DLl000 or DL650.
