You are totally right, but wouldn't it be better do it with some younger Ducati ????
Ciao

Frankie dear, i am already old man and i have ridden Ducatis about 15 years now, so start to know quite exactly, how they behave and what are the best points of them, so simply: I have that "touch in my ass" already, but there are many young "bone heads" in roads, who can drive fastly(much faster than me with low power Ducati) in straight roads, but near allways i beat them in twisties.... No matter i have much less powered Ducati under my ass.... I know, that it hurts very much them, when they realized, that my Ducati is very old... ...and I LOVE THAT FEELING (to beat them) !!!!

About "younger Ducati": When i start to be tired to these bikes, then i sell these and i dont buy new Ducati, then i buy some "better motorbike", than Ducati is.... ONLY ONE motorbike, not 5, like i have now....

You'll never be tired with the Pasos!!!
Perhaps, the ST are a little bit more boring...

For a sure, you get your duke to get a mass of satisfaction riding it and handworking on it!

I start to be already little tired to work with these machines so much.... Ducati is such bike, that it really needs plenty of attension and long evenings in wintertime... Again this winter i have to open that "last 907IE" to see, what i will do to her and surely i have to maintain totally my ST2 after 20 000kms driving "totally" This would be much easier to such person, who is not virgo(virgin), like i am! Fot me all must be perfect and just that takes alot of time. Ok, its my problem, not anybody´s else...

Is it so bad idea to sell these and buy one better (new) motorbike ???

Ok, sorry, that this is already totally out of topic!

If you mean to sell, you need someone that's very fond of vintage ducatis (better fond of pasos) or you'll never be able to let "a piece of your hearth " go away...

Nicola, You are just 100% right!

Not really, thinkin the same sometimes.
Be really practical & grownup & sensible and buy one, modern, good bike.
And sit there w a very good bike in most ways but BORING f my heart & soul!!!
At the moment, nothing can excite me like my mucho modded Monster and the beauty
of the 907!
I`ll bite the bullet and do the maintenance a while more.

Being modern and grown up and all the rest,it is really about knowing what you want and what makes your heart tick. Owning a Ducati,especially an older Ducati is about choosing a lifestyle,making a choice that makes the passion burn,gets you up off your ass to do something you love to do, It is not about what other people think. Love is always in the eye of the beholder.And just like the love of a good woman,you get out of it just what you put into it.

You remember the post "Is riding better than sex?"
Somehow I have the feeling that we're passing thruoght a "middle age sentimental crisis"

I don't think this can be considered "boring" in any sense of the word....







I still haven't been able to get my wife to take a picture if it, but I can drag a knee on my ST2 even with the panniers on it......and as of this Sunday, I can honestly say that I can drag a knee...and hard parts....on my Paso 750.

Just that is NEVER boring with ST4s...

But if You go to race track with ST, its better take centerstand away !!!!! I get some horrible feeling with my ST4s, when drive it first time in track, when side stand started to touch to ground.....

Here's the slip-on where it bends just off of the header pipe...

You'd be a little tired with your bikes, but you bought another 907 !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Desmo-Demon: You have just samekind scratches, as i have in my ST4s

But Your side stand looks diffrent. Its from older ST.....

Frankie: I have to spend hole next winter with that "last 907", so i have hard winter again....
