...Obviously it depends on what you want, what you like, what are you ready to loose to earn WHAT...... there are some friends of mine that would pay thousands of dollars to have a old Moto Guzzi (as the last bike bought from my friend Marcello: a Moto Guzzi V7 Special of 1967 , veeeery nice!) and somebody that looks for the low cost mainteinance and very good performance (japan bikes, wich are perfect, but YOU have to give them a personality....while other bikes have already their personality.......I LOVED my old CB 500 HONDA, for his low cost and NEVER-END reliability, for example, in spite of its "anonimous" shape adn ordinary perfomances....).
DUCATI is expensive(maybe outside Europe MORE expensive), yes, you're right. It has to be always a little dream that has not to become REALITY. Also because they say it needs a constant mainteinance(like all italian bikes, it seems...
)
......I have to say I'm quite "sensitive" on the effect that a bike can have on the poople around.......somebody riding a low-frequency sound bike will be always a little bit attractive FOR ME...
...but everyone as his/her prefereces.
But at the moment I also chose low cost bike (my SV was ALREADY something expensive for my budget...anyway...
) but it seems to be the most performing bi-Cylinder in its category :
and it's too nice to let HER go!
