Ben, I guess you haven't owned many Ducati's? Expensive? Unreliable? My 1992 907ie has 30,000 miles, no problems at all, the only things I've done are two valve adjustments (they were all perfect) tune-ups and oil changes. Oh, and the tires it shreds. I'll take my Duc anyday over any other bike...even my old boxer BMW R60US.I even toured the western US on a 2-week, 8000-mile trip on the Duc, what an awesome, comfy bike! Karl
