New/used bike:
I was thisclose to pulling the trigger on a full touring Harley Ultra Classic but changed course. I still might get one but need more garage space, among other things. I also did not want to write the check without selling one of my current stable.
Of course, I still needed to buy something, being the compulsive hamster I am. I’ve always liked the simplicity and performance of the air-cooled Ducati Multistrada, (<‘09), so I grabbed this low mileage 2007 1100S model. It was the nicest one I found west of the Mississippi. It was located in Casper, WY., but the seller just happened to be coming to Las Vegas for a family gathering. He put it in the back of his PU truck and I drove mine 200 miles to meet him and buy the bike. It checked out in person, so I bought it. So far, so good. Getting to know it on the twisty canyon roads of LA and very pleased. The seat is even OK comfort wise, a longer ride will really tell. Not a true touring bike but has bags and will be great for charging up the coast, etc.

The S model has Ohlins suspension and lots of “Ducati chrome”, (CF), plus this one has the full Termignoni exhaust and ECU.

Awesome bike, Denis. I'm envious. You'll have a ball with that thing. My own Ducati experience is limited in that I've only owned the one, but I have to say, that air cooled, two valve motor is an absolute sweetheart. It seems like it would be a very good choice for a sport touring bike like this one. Have fun...

That can’t come close to eating the miles like an Electra Glide, but for what it is they are are sweet.
Watch out for coyotes. |

Looks REALLY nice! Do you have a really good place for service? I'll bet the shocks need refreshing and setting up.
