I'm a car guy and knew nothing about them until I saw one in a parking lot in February so I suspect many potential buyers don't know they exist.
I think back to when I worked at a Ducati dealer in 1990. We had a 900SS sitting on the showroom for months before a magazine article came out saying how great they were. Then we sold everyone we had with in a couple weeks.
Now that I've strayed off topic: My boss told me to service that 900SS so it was ready to ride (it had zero miles) and ride it to the motorcycle race at Oak Hill that weekend. Saturday afternoon at the track, my brother who was good friends with the shop owner asked to ride it so I handed him the key. After 30 minutes or so I got worried, jumped in his truck and went looking for him on the little East Texas roads around the track. Soon I saw a bright red object way up the highway. It was getting large quickly and soon passed me coming the other way at what had to be the bike's top speed! Later I asked him about doing that on a bike with only 150 miles and he replied, "it's broken in now"
