Previous owner took very good care of it and I plan to do the same. Definitely not a daily rider, it sits in the garage covered and hooked up to the battery tender. Here's my old bike ('73 CB350k4), sold it a few years ago: | | | 10-04-2013, 11:46 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | Jesse, I now feel like complete $hit for not responding to your text. I was driving back from Miami when I received it and decided to wait to respond. I totally forgot to do that. My bad Homeboy! This is a killer machine yo! The best birthday present I have seen someone get themselves in a long time. Congrats. Be safe. Enjoy! __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 10-04-2013, 02:37 PM | #3 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | No worries Sean, been meaning to call you anyway. Picked the bike up on Sunday, the seller was a true enthusiast and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I couldn't be happier. He threw in lots of extras including a serialized factory stand, a hardback Haynes service manual as well as a Ducati shop manual, all of the service records, all of the original parts that were replaced with carbon fiber including the stock exhaust and a biposto tail section(rear seat). Gave it a quick detail yesterday, but plan to remove the fairings and give it a complete engine scrubdown. I've wanted this bike ever since I laid my eyes on one in Sicily, but couldn't afford it. Spent years looking for this exact model, this exact color, with these exact options. Didn't expect to find one in this condition for such a reasonable price though. Over the years I've came across several yellow ones, two seaters, molested bikes owned by kids and non "S" models with the ugly 3 spoke wheels. The seller made a great point, "you get what you pay for" and he couldn't be more right. I kind of sensed that he was attached to it and he wasn't going to just let it go to anyone. | | | 10-04-2013, 04:31 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: South Central, MN Posts: 1,065 | This and the 996s's are ageless and beautifully designed. Among my favorite. Very nice find! __________________ | | | 10-04-2013, 06:07 PM | #5 | Moderator Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: SoCal318ti Posts: 1,574 | Congrats pal and I need to visit you soon!!! | | | 10-04-2013, 08:08 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | Call me tonight.
