Been Thinking About Getting a Ducati

There's a Ducati 749 Biposto being sold near my area and I want to grab it before somebody else does. I've been thinking about selling the F4i and picking up the duc, but the only thing I may not be able to handle is the high cost maintenances, repairs, and services. The bike is freaking swwwweeeet too. It's a 2003 and has been babied meticulously. It has under 1,300 miles, clean title, original paperwork, all keys(1 master key and 2 extras), and some extras. It would be an awesome buy! I want to pull the trigger!!!! Wish I had some extra moola though.

buy it!!! the 749 is so facking sweet!!! whore yourself to old widowed grandmas for the extra dough!!!

yeah, quite the turnaround from awhile back...you were pretty upset, if I remember.

From all that I've heard about the F4i though, you may miss it too much to justify a boutique Italian ride...

Who is selling the bike? I may know the person? I probably could talk him into holding it for awhile.

The thought of whoring myself out to women crossed my mind...

Yeah, I was quite upset back then. I almost had to sell everything I had and move. We refinanced our home so many times and got so many loans. We almost went bankrupt... For now, we're okay. Things are kind of looking up I guess.

The guy lives in Playa del Rey, CA. I'm pretty sure he's got it pretty made financial-wise . Lives about 40-50 miles away in some condo in a rich neighborhood. Hey, he's gotta have it made to have a Duc anyways. I want the bike, but in the end it might just be wishful dreaming haha.

I've owned a couple of Italian bikes, not Dukes though alright, Italian bike design is from a different edge. Italian's love handling, performance & looks above all else. the trade off being, they don't give a rats about comfort, practicality of design (one Guzzi I owned had 4 friggin keys for 4 different locks) & they don't care if you have to pay lottsa Lira for parts & servicing. Their suspension is firmish to say the least. Wot you'll get is a bike that goes like stink through the twisties, an exhaust note that's just beautifull, so who cares if after a days ride, you can't stand properly or use either hand to eat with.

As tempting as a new bike is, The question you have to ask yourself is 'Do I want my wife/family to live on the verge of bankruptcy because I want a new toy?'
 
 
 
 

well now that I am in the market for a new bike, how much does he want for it? lol 

I was on Ducati's website the other day and they are offering 50% off maintenance on 2008's.

Yeah, that's why I said it's just wishful dreaming.

hey mang...i've actually considered a duc as well...however, one of my best friends owns a 998...and he hates to shell out the bling when it comes to maintenance...sure he can afford it, but i can't! i can do the work myself, however...parts still cost bling...sigh

Wow!  Ducati.   Well thats nice.     Get the hell off this site then.  

The bike was sold for $6,900!! What a deal...

If you would have gotten the Duc, Tahoe could have come over and done the maintenance...
