I know nothing about them and they look funny.

Black bikes are awesome. Had to do it.

Nice bike.

is it an easy bike to maintain? are the costs comparable to Ducati's?

that's what I want to know

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

thanks . . .

in such case, need to look for something fun and less costly than Ducati . . .

Hard to say.  All the 2v ducs I've had were basically gas-oil-tires.

My 950smr has been that way with the addition of a battery (age) and a fuel pump (known issue)

My 450 is pretty easy as well, just needs oil changed a lot.  Keep in mind it doesn't even hold a qt to begin with.

I don't know a ton about that bike but I think it's similar to lethe's 625.  You should talk to him.

I think motorcycles inherently come with maintenance needs, no matter the brand.  If you want cheap transportation a 90's honda civic or accord is the way to go.  30mpg and pretty much no maintenance.  I bought my last one for $200 ;)

basically I want something to take me to/from work without being heavy as in almost 400lbs of bike plus 200lbs rider  . . . something that will also make it fun and to run short errands; starting my bike to ride a total of 6 miles is no fun . . . 3 to work 3 from work . . .

was asking since this one has the same price as a chinese made "sumo wannabe" with a 200/250cc engine . . . import tax wouldn't be that much due to model year[2001] . .. I'll see if for when I get to Miami in the following weeks the bike's still available and take a better look at it, then decide . ..

I have now been back and forth to the dealership 5 times since finalizing my decision to a 500EXC in the spring.
I keep oogling and fondling the 500 and 350EXCs he currently has in stock.

It's funny really as I haven't been this excited about getting a bike in a long time...even the *GASP*  :o Multistrada.

Because right now, I would have to take out a loan on it. If I wait until spring, between bonuses and tax return, I can pay cash for the whole kit.  ;D

Believe me...I keep telling myself that a loan would just help me improve my credit...but I wouldn't be carrying the loan long enough to actually make any difference.
