He's happy. I think that's all that really matters.
on my 99 i had ferraci bars and tried the corbin and sargent seat, found the stock seat best.tell me if i missed something because i want a 1000ss as a stablemate.this bike handles great.don't see any loss there. the fe with fcrs has noticeably more power to 7000 which is where i am 99% of the time. i personally think both models are beautiful.on a recent trip from taos to paonia co. i got a corrected.58-62 mpg.occasional triple digits and hauling ass through black canyon of the gunnisson.comfort was never an issue.
The bikes aren't that much different in comfort once the handlebar mounts are changed.on my 99 i had ferraci bars and tried the corbin and sargent seat, found the stock seat best.tell me if i missed something because i want a 1000ss as a stablemate.this bike handles great.don't see any loss there. the fe with fcrs has noticeably more power to 7000 which is where i am 99% of the time. i personally think both models are beautiful.on a recent trip from taos to paonia co. i got a corrected.58-62 mpg.occasional triple digits and hauling ass through black canyon of the gunnisson.comfort was never an issue.
have you ever sat on an older ss?the terblanche ss has the most radical riding position of any ducati of its era.much better for the track.lousy for the road. changing the angle of the bars does not make a sport tourer which the older model does surprisingly well.maybe your body contorts better than mine.
i was never a fan of carbon fiber either.when i got this bike all i thought was this bike needs paint.however there is something about the rawness of carbon bodywork. thinking of picking up an ebay tank and strippingand polishing down to bare metal.there won't be a speck of paint on the whole bike:think:I love the hell out of the older 900ss machines, my 1994 is my "goto" machine all the time it seems. I never will understand "Carbon Fiber" though.....guess like everything, whatever floats your boat!
