How about an update on your beautiful Ducati Corse. As I narrow my search for my new ride, it is mainly down to the 900XR or a Look 585 Ultra (I really like the look of the 595 Ultra but not going to do the ISP). I will be going to a LBS here in Boulder that has the Ducs. I wasn't too impressed with the first one I saw because of all the lint particles underneath the paint. Ride ON!!!

well... sorry for the belated response mate... I was out of the country on business since beginning of February and returned just two weeks ago. The bike was great and better than I expected. Unfortunately last week I got hit by a car driven by an individual who thinks STOP signs read COCA COLA instead. I'm ok... had enought time to jump out of the bike and ended up sitting on top of the hood, but the Duky didn't make it, total loss. Good thing there is insurance and they will pay for everything.

Yes, I am getting another Ducati 900XR as I can't see anything wrong with it.

Glad you are OK. Poor XR though- oh well it is replaceable. I think the fact that you are replacing the XR with another XR speaks volumes. Thanks! Ride ON!!
