I already have a 2009 hypermotard 1100s, but it started acting up and throwing codes right before im supposed to take a trip down to laguna seca for wsbk. I have tickets to ducati island and everything. I was practically in tears trying to figure out what i was going to do, as i was not confident i could get it fixed before i was supposed to leave. I thought about renting a bike from joy rides down there, but realized thta when i got home, i would still have a broken bike. Well, **** it, i have a job, i have money, buy a new one. I had been looking lustfully at the supersport for a while now anyway. I called my local dealer and inquired about a supersport, and he was like, great. I told him i was hoping to only have to make one trip to the big city to get it, and he was like, "whoa, whoa, whoa, you know there is a waitlist for these things right?" So i told him my sob story, and he took pity on me and made a few phone calls, found out that the guy on the list for a white s model was non-committal, and gave him the ultimatum, come get it now, or I'm giving it to this other guy. I picked it up Saturday:grin2:
Wow, this thing is fun. It doesn't have the torque hit of the motard, but way more stable and easy to ride on the highway. I followed a guy on a multistrada from waldport to philomath on my first ride on it sunday, and we were bad kids>
. I tried my best to stay under 6k, but....there were times...
Anyway, i was planning to truck the motard down to laguna to ride it around down there, as this involved me missing a minimum of work(there's only two of us here, so if i'm gone, he has to cover)but now, with a bike that can make the trip without beating me up too bad, I'm riding all the way. Anybody have experience with Ducati shops in the laguna area, or between there and oregon, I guess i'm going to have to get my first oil change done on the road. I've only got a tiny tailbag that i use to carry things around on the motard, and no time to get anything else before i leave, so i will be travelling light, which is, of course, the only way to fly.
