    As I tried to avoid the Harley brand when I was looking at getting back on a motorcycle, I kicked tires on a few Victories. I loved the look of some of them, but the quality just seemed so...meh. Some of them looked so badass from a distance, but once up close and going over them, they just looked cheap and hastily slapped together.

    I was very close to owning one of these before I bought the Lowrider.

    Kinda *rare* Ducati, the color anyway -- seems like a good project, he keeps dropping the price, now at $2800. (In Glens Falls NY, too far for me.) I've owned two of these, a great ride, the look, the sound, the whole Ducati experience. You need patience working around the body work. Good resource here: http://forums.ducatipaso.org/viewforum.php?f=3

    Good looking Duc S2R 800, reasonable price, not much info tho. Only 2700 miles, maybe it's never had belt & valve service?

    ... and another one, also in ME, higher miles. No pics of the right side.

    I had a couple of these same year/color. If this is pricing reality (it’s not) then I should have kept them!!

    Pretty sure I've mentioned this. I was THIS close to getting one of these instead of that Low Rider I bought a few years ago.

    It's not really low for a big honkin' Vtwin. I think my Street Glide is like, 5500 or 6000.

    Such fun bikes to ride. Had the chance to get one relatively inexpensively a while back and I should have taken it.
