I'm...in...love...

3rd on in North America showed up in my back alley today (Sport Cycle Ducati is across the alley). I really didn't know what to think of them aesthetically in pics, but in person, it's SICK. The one I sat on was the "S" version with magnesium engine covers, carbon fiber EVERYWHERE, Marzocchi Forks, Ohlins rear shock, Marchesini Forged rims, single sided swinger...dear God...

Looks aside, it sounds mean as fuck and it's comfy! It's actually comfy! They wouldn't let me ride it obviously, but the owner of the shop was rippin' up and down the alley, grinnin' ear to ear. I can't even put into words how I feel about this bike...simply put, it's SPECTACULAR!! I have cell phone pics, but no way to get them onto the pc right now...

I think I'm going to take a ride to my local Duc dealer this Saturday and check them out. Now I am intrigued even more!

Do they have one? There's only 3 in North America right now...

Uhhhh......I thought it was the national Launch. My bad, I guess that's actually the end of June. And the wait goes on......

That thing must be a blast to ride :rock: ....

I have been looking for a SM...My R1 has been paid off for some time now and I have a few coins to spend. Looking at the DRZ-400 SM. Would love to owne a Hypermotard but it will probably out of my budget!
