eddd Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 This spammer need to do a better job with their descriptors. A Ducati super bike "handles well"...who knew! But there's more! It a "Great beginner bike or commuter..." https://stgeorge.craigslist.org/mcy/d/hildale-2018-ducati-superbike-bike/6898473168.html 2 Link to comment
szurszewski Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The most important question for me, when shopping for a superbike, is how well will this handle crosswinds? Glad to see this one does ok! 2 Link to comment

szurszewski Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 A 2004 R1100S popped up on cl here (well, Seattle - apparently 2.5 hours north of here now - used to just be an hour!) the other night... here's a screenshot of the ad: I can't put in a link though...because I bought it and the ad is already down I can link to my thread where you can help me fix it though! What you can't see in the rest of the ad copy is that I bought it from the original owner who parked it this spring when the ABS unit started to leak (or something?). Other than not starting and not having any brakes it seems in really good shape. Poor guy had just put new tires on it for the season! 4 Link to comment

Maybe, but 85’s were fastest, they had different cams and bigger valves than subsequent years. Once clocked it at 153mph off a Honda VFR speedo, they were dead even. 2 Link to comment

TEWKS Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Not too bad, at only $4,100,000. That probably would have bought a whole squadron of them back in 1944. 1 Link to comment
Pappy35 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Wow. I can't afford $4M but for a unit with only 45 hours on it since restoration and given it's historic nature that doesn't actually seems like a lot of money. Where on earth do you find parts to overhaul a 75 years old Pratt Double Wasp anyway? 1 Link to comment

Funny I was just thinking about how much money I'd need in the bank to feel comfortable purchasing this awesome aircraft. (The P-51 Mustang might just edge it out for the coolest warbird ever built BTW) I'm thinking a minimum of 50 Mil. Link to comment

He was also his own A&P. His take was that it was a wonderful airplane from the firewall back. He wasn't a fan of the Merlin. 1 Link to comment

walton66 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I think my favorite of all time was the 92 907ie that I bought new and owned until I, in a fit of insanity, sold it to buy an ST4. I still look at old photos and wish. 40k and never a single problem though some had alternator issues. 2 Link to comment

I though Gm had that one already. Link to comment

TEWKS Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 I'm betting it was built for the hey "look at my custom chopper that's too uncomfortable to ride guy". Very strange setup I agree, but, I guess it would keep you from worrying about a loose tie down. 1 Link to comment
