Boomshickawawa!
[thumbsup] Welcome to the big bore club.
Congrats!
What extra does the S get? Do tell.
I had heard a rumor.
Just waiting for the word from the 'horse'.
Congrats.
What will be the fate of your 750?
Congrats Howie. [thumbsup]
Tiz a lie.
No pics...no bike
I thought the game was afoot from the ad, but not sure....
Congrat's, that's the best of the DSS air-cooled. [beer]

IIRC, it's the aluminium swinger.
Grats Howie! Now go chase squirrels!
Two weeks ago I was rear ended while exiting the FDR Drive at 61st street. The cars in front of me slowed. I slowed. The guy behind me didn't. Somehow I managed to keep the bike vertical and not hit the vehicle in front of me. Needless to say, my bike was a total loss, but I did keep the bike. IMHO, good Ducatis should never be thrown away. Coincidentally, the 1000S came into the picture. Really clean bike. The 750 was sold cheap to a DESMO buddy, frame straightened and just in need of a hugger and beer tray or suitable replacement or tail chop.
The 1000S is up at ECS now for the inevitable valve guide replacement. I suspected so, but I figured now or later anyway, so I took the leap.
Here are your pics BP (from the ad)

Great detective work Speeddog! My original plan was to buy a 1200S in the spring and give a buddy a bargain on the old 750. I think the new bikes are absolutely fantastic but I like the older ones better.
You have buddies? ;D
nice! Congrats howie! which ecu does that motor run? I noticed a light and day difference once my current motor was dyno tuned. might be worth it to make it run smoother since the bike is already up there.
+1 on that and I notice it comes with extras already fitted. Good score.

OK, I might be exaggerating a bit :'( Acquaintance?
DP 5.9 No point in any tuning until the guides are done. After the guides we'll see. Yep, lots of goodies! Even a bike cover and a rear stand. Bars look stock, but they aren't. A little lower, a little more droop too. The bike will loose the carbon clutch cover and get a woodcraft.
Those come with a 5.9 ECU, so needs a PCIII or the like, or reflash to alter fuelling.
It's been a while since I rode one, but I recall they ran decent stock.
Trim is adjustable, and no wonky air idle valve.
The last one I rode had big-bore hi-comps (1079cc), light flywheel and BST's on it.
It was pretty snappy.
Congrats on the new wheels Howie!! [thumbsup]

Good to hear you made it out of the accident okay.

I forget what Steve uses, but he can tune without a piggy back. Yep, open loop 1000 DS is much less wonky than the closed loop variety.

Congrats Howie. Now that my leg is (mostly) healed, I need to get mind up to Steve. Maybe we'll get a lucky 50 degree day in the next couple of weeks.
