ID:	306877I'm selling my 1992 400SS, I've just bought an ST2 and I'm suffering from lack of space.

    Why buy a Japanese Bike when you can have a Ducati for your first Ride?

    My ex had one and it was a good bike.
    If its a Jap import it may have a big bore kit in it. Apparently it was common to make them bigger cc but still pay smaller road user costs.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    Quite possible and that might explain why She goes so well. I'm not about to pull the Heads off to find out though.
    I rebuilt a Honda Bros a few Years back and had trouble getting over 160KmpH out of it compared to this Bike. This was my first Ducati, and I was quite surprised by the performance & handling.

    This has to be one of the coolest LAMS bike you could buy!

    I'm only $4k short of putting it in the garage for our daughter.

    I sold a 600ss recently and could only get 4k and then a mid 90's very tidy 900ss for $4800, its a hard second hand market out there.

    Yeah no one is going to pay that much for the bastard child of the Ducati family.

    Bit harsh, surely? It's a sleeved-down 750 with a 6-speed gearbox, built specifically to meet learner regulations.

    It's a good bike, in it's own right. Sadly, being expensive for an older smaller capacity bike (this is a generalisation) they take a while to sell. There are other bikes available which will be faster, more powerful and cheaper - the baby Duke will appeal to a smaller market.

    Sleeved Down....?, not quite
    400 is 70.5 x 51
    750 is 88 x 61
    600 is 80 x 58

    I would like the 600 expect it revs out well.
