Ducati MH900 evoluzione

motocorsa in portland has 2 on their showroom and 1 across the street at portland used bikes.

the showroom ones havent got a price, the used one is only 13,500$ (if its still there)

it's a long ways from a monster, closest to a sport classic I'd say.  There are a couple of members here that have one.

Somehow I just never liked those bikes.  I have two friends who bought them new for something just north of $15,000 and said they were "investments".  At that time you could have bought a 916 superbike for the same money.  Just didn't make sense to me then or now.

I've never thought of bikes as "investments".

Of course one of the guys I'm talking about bought a first year green frame 750 ss new and still has it. Turns out is WAS a good investment.

An amazing example of this bike in all carbon fiber is at Eastside motosports/ Bellevue Ducati.  If anyone is in the area, you should go take a look at it in person.  Going for $21,999.

I think was has hurt the MH900e market is that it WAS designed as an investment and not a rider's/pure sport bike.

the fake undertray to make it more classic, the sales gimick of the internet only. which i think was 12999. if your friends paid more, they got dealer markup which Ducati was supposed to have prevented.

anyway. it will never have the status of a great Ducati IMO due to those facts

They are very cool bikes but just not worth as much as a few would have some believe.

Guy I ride with occasionally has one...I thought it was pretty cool until I discovered the fake plastic sump and the amount of other plastic bits on it that should have at least been polished alloy or chrome pot metal

[psycledelic]

I would park on in the garage, if the opportunity ever presented itself.  Real or fake.  Bike looks good.

always loved the look of these bikes, and that CF faired example posted above is drop dead gorgeous.  One of the best looking applications of those dymag wheels, too, which normally don't look too hot IMO.  I'd love to own one but I understand they're not too accomodating to the inseam-height-challenged folks like myself.

MH..cool bike.  I'd rather have a Sport 1000 with a set of Zards on it though. My personal preference.


BTW..no matter what you think you may have found..it's already been posted here.

You just need to learn the one foot down technique. Notice in the video I posted he never has both feet flat on the ground.

Yup-wife rides one footed on her bmw. I had to ride one footed on my buddies KTM (37" seat height!  ) )  It's not bad.
