Apparently!

Saturday, I said buh-bye to my well-loved Sprint and my much-cursed KTM and returned with a Ducati.

15 months of lust, watching forums, tracking the Skipper's progress and now I have an MTS1200.

Sadly, I am in Oregon and the bike ... the bike is not!

I was riding it after I got it, not photographing it.  Bigok

White.

I'm already missing having a Triumph. I think the new Mutley will help console me, though....

 Clap  Congrats! Those things inspire lust in me too.

But what others say is true: without pics, it doesn't exist. We'll wait.

Bloody existential bikes. Only living in my imagination.

I'll be back home tomorrow. Smile Maybe the wind has died down and I can ride some more. Or I'll just take pictures surrounded my scenic NM dust.

I'm thinking you're going to love this bike. Reliability in the 1198 is taking Italy thru the roof. Love it and congrats!

Dang nice!

Sadly, I've just dumped a buncha money into my MTS 1000DS, so I'm riding it for quite a while yet (Love it, but dang that 1200 is amazing... Drool)

950 SM. Fantastic machine, when it was running. Me and it were jinxed, and finally I just gave up.

(Three petrol tanks in 14 months? Really?)

I think so too. I wanted a bigger rider triangle than the Sprint could ever offer, and more suspension. Upright sports bike to the rescue!! And with two bikes to trade-in and some cash down... not too bad.

Now I just need something to take to the track and hammer around town on. WR250X? Smile
