I just realized that I never posted again after I got all that advice from the few that responded, so here is the deal, the bike is mine, has been for about 2 months. I took cash with me that day and got it.
I have to say, I'd never ridden a Ducati before, and wasn't very familiar with sportbikes (been on a cruiser for the longest time) but damn, you guys weren't kidding. This thing is a dream and way too much fun to ride (but I still do
)
Now let me see if I can attach some pics of it.
