Saw it too. If you have about 1.3 billion laying around you can buy that factory and the fixtures. Some motorcycles too.

Thanks Scottie. Got it set to record on Thursday. I've had his old girl since Clinton was in office.

Still the best sounding bike EVER. Cool

He's trying to be a fan, but it's been tough.

What year SS is that? Me and my dad bought a 1998 750 and 900 Supersport all in peices on craigslist a while back. The 750s frame was bent so we sold it as a parts bike and put the 900 back together and sold it for $3300. We bought both of them for $1500 so we got a pretty good profit out of them.

It’s a ’95. The best mod I ever did to it was putting flat slide FCR carbs on it. Woke it right up. Smile

Definitely a beautiful bike and it has plenty of power to back up its looks.

Ducati is owned by the same company as J. Crew.

Have to agree with you on that one, hard to beat. My roomate had one when I lived in Santa Cruz and I got to take it out for a few times on day trips, LOVED that bike!!! It had soul for days.. call me wierd but I even liked the dry clutch sound, he had a "vented" carbon fiber cover that made it louder than stock. Good times, sweet bike :-) What is the value of one of those now a days??

What keeptwostrokesalive got for his seems to be about par for one these days. Somewhere between 3 and 4 grand, depending on model, condition and the amount of trick parts.
