Rob here. Displaced Canuck living in Sydney, Straya mate.
Always wanted a Duck, thought about maybe a Monster over the years but never felt the pull strongly enough. The balls-out sportsbike Ducatis are awesome, but being 54 I no longer feel the need to ride around with my hair on fire all the time. I also came to the realisation that the way you ride is hugely affected by what you're sitting on. For example I always come back from riding my RZ 2 smoker thankful to still have a license, because the >
lives in that motor and it's impossible to not wring that thing's neck and feel the zing when you wind it out! It makes me do things that I seem to have no control over.
So, along comes the SS, and I'm thinking this could be the Duck that finally grabs me. Read probably ALL the reviews and most of this forum. Quite an overwhelming amount of positivity about this machine, with only a few reservations.
Of course, I still haven't test ridden yet, so I will have to do something about that. I bought my XSR900 without even test riding as my research told me it's a great bike, and it's a frikkin' GREAT bike IMO.
So, my biggest quandary is RED or WHITE! S model seems like the go to me.
Cheers guys.
