New (used) Street bike suggestions for Frank

Had him climb on the KTM with it's 17" wheels while in a paddock stand at Summit... flat in the saddle not even tippy-toes make contact.  

So I think the asking price is high, and it's been on consignment forever so that might make for negotiation room - but there's a Senna S4 at Ducpond

That would be a decent daily if you could snag for a few hundred less than his asking. 
Looks like it belongs on the streets of DC

Yes, i am vertically challenged... some of you may have seen me try to mount the multistrada on ducati day... um... funny is an understatement! One of the reasons I had a monster to begin with.

Most Ducati bikes can be easily lowered: slide the forks through the triples a little and get an adjustable link for the rear.

That thing is pretty, I like how clean it looks! The Arrow cans remind me of the ones I had on my 750: much lighter but not too loud.

That was electrical tape and a ca-cycleworks lanyard. LIKE. A. KING. 




Sometimes I look at the photos and I really miss that bike.... however the GS handles the dirt much better!
