I'm working on it... I just have a couple of small details to work out yet. I'll probably take you up on your offer as well Mr. Black. I'm thinking at least Monday night possibly Sunday night too. Unfortunately RIDUX I probably won't truck the Duc, but at least I'll ride out on the GT. I'll let you dudes know what's up for sure by Wednesday... Cheers

I would like to get back on topic for a minute... If anybody is considering purchasing a bike similar to this my 1st piece of advise is don't do it. 2nd, do not pay more than $1800-$2200 max for one as it seems TT Motorcycles in Detroit & my insurance company seem to feel that would be the most they are worth. If you are interested in a SP model you'll get about $500-$700 more. If you have an aftermarket exhaust or any other add-ons it may increase the value by $500. Also, w/ only 21,000 miles on mine it made it worth a tad bit more, TT said if it had 30,000 miles or more on it you might as well scrap it because it's junk & isn't worth anything. I thought I was getting a sweet deal & a fair price & I was really excited & thought it was worth at least $3200. It's like my friend who owns a car lot says, "it's only worth what somebody will pay you for it". Cheers

That sucks - hopefully you can work something out
And glad to see that you are ok from the other thread.

I was shocked when the insurance company wouldn't give me at least $3200 which is what I paid for it like a month ago. NADA values it at $2600-$4500, KBB values it at $1800-$2500 & apparently the Ducati dealers Dealer Book values it somewhere between those. I paid more than $3200 after you figure tax, plate & title but I only get $1800! Oh well, live & learn. I always knew that the Super Sports were the very bottom low end of the Ducati models but I thought the '95 & earlier models were cool, & contrary to what you see on Craigslist, EBay & the internet, the '98 models & newer are worth a ton more than the older ones according to the Duc dealer! The insurance company did advise me to have my Norton professionally appraised so that in the event of an incident I would get what it's appraised at & not just a few bucks! Cheers

Thanks! I am searching every day. I think my Ducati days are done w/ for now though. I would love to find a Triumph, Aprilia or Moto Guzzi. I may have found a Futura but I need to work out some details. I thought I was going to get your Daytona until I talked to the insurance company...

The reality is you did get a deal, but your insurance company is f-ing you.

Surprise, surprise.

Looking back I don't think I got a deal. The guy I bought it from only paid $2000 for it & the guy he bought it from was asking $2500. The ones that are for sale on EBay & Craigslist for $2500 & more are still for sale. Would you buy a bike for twice the amount it's worth?
