Check this out.. it's in PA (which by the way is a great place to buy a Ducati since FbF and MikMar are in PA)

http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/mcy/2397281997.html

it's a 750ss from 1993.  SORT OF rare in the USA, and he wants $2800 for it.  Yet another bike I would buy if I had room.

it is around 60 hp, but it is surprisingly light and the power:weight ratio is very nice.  the rear wheel is a 160 (IIRC) which makes it very flickable and only one front rotor = less weight.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Hmm the add for the yellow 750 mentions clip-ons but they are not in the photo. That'd just be something to ask the seller about. Probably older photos, so if you went to look just look a little more closely.

Ducatiz posted this in your intro thread - I'm just consolidating

"Here is a 620 a bit further away in PA, but driveable

http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/2317613997.html

Very nice mods and upgrades - $3500.   he's the original owner too."

- +1 to the above. Its' a bit of a drive. But looking deal worthy at the moment. One thing to ask about would be a cam belts. They are a 12k mi or 2 years of service replacement item.

It was suggested to me that some CAM members might be bribed into retrieving the bike (Gibsonia,PA) on my behalf. If a mutually beneficial arrangement could be arranged, I would cautiously entertain the idea.
Don't argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I think Artful might be on this already...

These savages will take any excuse to ride anothers bike! Bonus, Artful will have tags for a black ducati.. as you probably won't have tags for it... Just don't let the officers see the VIN!

My first bike was a 2000 900 dark. Injected, bitof a hand full but I'm somewhat older and respected the power.
Depending on your mental outlook a 900 may not be "to much". Not to down play what has been said before, but the 900 puts power done very smoothly. After learning the throttle a bit, that said I wrecked my in about two years,had it rebuilt. If you get the 900 ---- learn how to stop properly as cold brakes and cold tires can be a problem. I don't know if the dual rotors are the reason for that.

I love my 900

Ah a bit late to this, but I wouldn't buy a '94 without a serious inspection of the swingarm mounts - they cases tended to crack in that area (even then prob wouldn't buy it).

And dry clutches are a pain in the ass.  Every time I ride my 750 around town I yell I LOVE THIS BIKE!!! inside my helmet.  Off the line isn't an issue with a -2 on the rear & stage 2 in the carb.  80+mph, I constantly search for a 6th gear.

Dry clutches are the cat's meow. Don't listen to this infidel.
