Hi all,

Name: Jae
Location: Wisconsin (originally from Texas)
Looking to buy this guy: http://madison.craigslist.org/mcd/3094619260.html

First bike was a Shadow 600 which I had for 2 years. Looking to make the jump to something a little more exciting. Not a Ducati owner yet, but hoping to remedy that soon. Any advice on a first Ducati purchase would be appreciated. Prices in Wisconsin seem to be inflated though...

Cheers!

Howdy back!

Well, how much more exciting? Depending on you budget and what you like theres a monster or other duc to suit just about anything. Lots of choices
- Old or new body style?
- Air cooled or water?
- 600, 620, 695, 750, 800, 900, 1000 ccs?

And it's summer price inflation probably. If you're not in a rush, wait until November/ December. Bikes are generally a seasonal commodity and prices will be lowest in the off season.
