Dang, that's purty.

Retro styling reminiscent of the 1977 #12 Ducati 900:

Hubby’s out now, on his new (used) BMW. But the bikes I liked best at the showroom were all Ducatis. They had a really glam one, beige with black leather saddle bags. Very girlie, really, they looked like giant makeup cases!

I bought a 900CR about 15 years ago. I was about 47 at the time. The riding position took about 2 months for my wrists and neck to get used to. That left about 3 months of pain-free riding (short season at 9,000 feet in the Rockies.

Sold it and got a Monster about 4 years later. What a blessed relief. Nah, I didn’t look cool on a crotch rocket but the biking was sure more pleasurable.

Still, nothing like the 60-70’s cafe racer look.

pretty bike, but not one that I’d buy or ride..at my age, I’d throw my back out just trying to lean over to grab the handlebars..
