[Ducati] Surplus Ducatis

[TheGeek]

The right ones fly, the others gather dust (800SS and Sport1000 at my
dealer)
I pre-ordered a Sport1000 the week the classics were announced back in 2004,
when it showed up I decided I did not like it with the cheapie brakes &
suspenders.
My original quoted price was 13,995CDN, when ot arrived it was 12,995CDN (US
dollar went down)
and they just got rid of their last new 2006 a month ago for 9,995CDN.

Flyin' of the shelves like stale bread....
