As for the Duc evidently the GT1000 has sold really well worldwide. But there are a couple of '07 models out there that can be had for a decent price. I need to ride one though...the two-tone is sassy but not sure I dig the ergos. Same for the Bimmer.

Plus used Monsters are a dime a dozen around here.

I have the boy next weekend Michael. We're out of sync with the kids

I think ABS is a good thing. I wish when I bought my FJR I had ordered that option. At the time I hadn't ridden a bike with ABS and didn't think it was necesary, but after riding the BMW all these miles I wouldn't buy a long distance or commuter bike without it. That being said, I've never gotten into the ABS in a real world situation. But, it's still one of those items to help stack the odds in your favor.

Pro Italia in glendale is a very good dealer. Give Jake or Sampson a call and see if they have any GTs to demo. If not, I have a good friend who has one and I could probably set up a test ride if your interested.
