And those Sport Classics also have rearsets...abig minus for my poor knees.
I stopped by the Ducati dealer today and they had 3 GT1000s, 2 grey and 1 red. I actually liked the look of the Grey/Graphite ones better....which is out of the norm for me because usually I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Ferraris and Ducatis: Red only!
I couldn't quite flat foot it on the GT1000, but it didn't bother me that my heels were only about a half inch from touching the tarmac. They do have a demo bike I could ride, but they wanted serious buyers only to do that. I'm not ready with the funds yet, so I won't take a flyer on it. I did ask about valve adjustments. The salesman was fairly up front and honest when he told me they do a major service at 12,000 miles which includes cam belts changed, valves adjusted, oil change, plus just going over the bike with a fine tooth comb, and he said it'd cost $800-900. Oh well, I guess that's the price you pay for owning a Ducati. I really like the bike though. Saw this pic of a Sport Classic with a fairing on it over at the Delphi Bonnie forum. Looks very sharp, but expensive.
