Well, I decided to go WAY OVER THE TOP on the "sport" side of the
sport-touring genre. So much so, that this is basically a race bike with
lights. This is the Ducati 996... This is the "SuperBike", and the basic
reason that we have World Superbike and AMA Superbike racing! When this
bike was build Ducati ruled supreme over both. This was bought as my
"track-day" bike. When I went from the Concours to the ST2, I joked
that the ST2 felt like a 10-speed bicycle. Well this makes the ST2 feel
like a cruiser!
Well, I decided
to go even more on the "sport" side of the sport-touring genre. This is
the Ducati ST2... It is made in Italy and known as the
"Ferrari of motorcycles". I have found it to actually be more comfortable
than the Connie was.
Ever since Kawasaki started making the Concours in 86, I wanted
one. This was my '87. The Concours is basically a Ninja 1000 that has
shaft drive, a 7.5 gallon fuel tank, detachable luggage, and a larger
fairing. I added a Corbin saddle and a SpeedScreen. I recently sold it on
e-bay to a gentleman in Salt Lake City.
The bike I learned to ride on. It was a Honda
350 (think it was a '71, but I'm not sure).
I traded in my Honda station wagon for this
'76 Yamaha 650. It was by far the best way to get around Philadelphia,
except when it rained or snowed.
