I’ve been toying with the idea of adding a dedicated pavement bike to my garage, most likely a roadster or possibly sport/adv tourer (street focused, just a quick and comfy tourer). What I REALLY want is a 2005-2010 Triumph Speed Triple, but am having a tough time finding one that I like for a price that I think is fair. So, I’ve been considering a few Ducatis, but I don’t really know all that much about what they’re like to live with and which models/engines are the winners and which to avoid. So anyway, these are the models I’m kind of interested in:
-Monster (which years/engines are good? I don’t mind old as long as they’re not too expensive/difficult to live with)
-Multistrada (I rode a 2016 and loved it. Is the 950 worth it? Is $12000 reasonable for a 13 year old bike? I’d consider an air cooled one too)
-Hypermotard/strada (air cooled 1100 or water? 937 or 821?)
-Scrambler 1100 (honestly, I don’t know if it makes sense to have two scramblers, even though the 1100 seems more like a roadster to me)
-ST3/4 (don’t know much about these at all)
-Older Super Sport (don’t know too much about these either, I’d probably pull the fairings off and swap the clip ones for a bar, is that sacrilege?)
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head, but I’m open to suggestions. Heck, suggest other brands too, if you want.
