Mossy. Pick of the week.

I don't even know how long it takes get full licence but idd rather own the monster for 12-18months than a 20 year old 250 inline 4 that could blow at any stage and be worth nothing if it does.

Apparently you can get it very quickly if you do all of the cbta over the course of a couple days. The bronze course instructor from what I recall said that you have to ride a year on your restricted no matter what before the license automatically comes in the mail.

Other than the 659 is lams and at 170kg that's likely max power to weight ratio but likely has more torque and power through the entire rev range plus its on good suspension with gear normally available on larger bikes.

Never owned a Ducati but they cant be all bad.

Ducati suspension aint that flash. Even the R model Ohlins stuff needs money spent on it to make a rideable bike.

First ducati 659 sold but another has surfaced.

It's not LAMS, the exhaust has been modified. It's also a gaspingly underpowered blanc mange of a thing. A CB500 is better bike.

Dude, it has a "shit your pants lever", so I am imagining about 8 G's there to allow the egress of bodily waste.

Oh yeah, good point, I keep forgetting to rate stuff like that.

Quick ban exhaust wrap also because that might increase power.
By underpowered you must be talking lams approved since its on the power to weight limit.
I still haven't heard of anyone getting a muffler ticket yet but maybe its happening.
Although you might rather have a CB500 I would say a lot would rather own the Ducati especially if the price stays low.
The last one was 8500 or near offer for 2015 model and last 24hrs before being sold.

Likely a creative way of saying the butterfly stop is removed to get a extra 15hp claimed.

Good step up from learners at good price.

Seems like a bit of bike for the price. Higher kms but in good condition.

Saw that one. Apart from the inaccurate odometer it looks like a good deal.

Which reminds me. I need to practice for my restricted. I need power wheelies in my life

Muffler's been changed.

I don't think anyone cares.

I don't think anyone cares.

Passed my full test recently with an aftermarket loudish muffler. No problems. Then again, barring the legal aspect, farting is more effective for power to weight than changing the muffler on a Hyosung.

Better get in quick, looks to be plenty of interest in it.
