About to pull the trigger...Suspension worries

I wanted to wait to reply until I knew it was a done deal. Sticker was $9,500.
Nope. Has 5 miles on it. Yeah, I was/will be a little worried until the bike is delivered, but it is from a reputable, high volume dealer. I saw someone else on here who got a similar deal. The local dealer was nowhere near that price even with the shipping cost. The local guy didn't handle the situation with much grace, so no love lost.

That's what he said. He was open about the fact that they were losing money on the sale, but needed room.
Yes it was a hell of a deal I bought mine around the same time and paid $8995 plus $500 in dealer fees so $9495 I was told they had 4 but the guy that picked it up said it looked like they had a bunch of them. I just looked at the website and they are now $10,995 Maybe they will still deal. Worth a call for sure.
I'd agree with the sentiment here, I took a long look at the SP, but did also want most of the Strada accessories - with the discounts on the Strada and adding the gear to the SP the price spread was getting towards $4.000 for me.
The front suspension works well for me so far (intermediate rider, 170lbs) - so non issue.

It arrives tomorrow night...going to be hard not to call out "sick" for the rest of the week.
How about between strada and motard. Motard has longer travel does it helps with travel,thank in advance!

The base motard still had a non-adjustable suspension, at least the early generations that I was familiar with did. If all you want is great stock off-road suspension, then this is the wrong bike. It comes with street tires for a reason. I'd still want luggage, bigger alternator and windscreen on the Strada for "adventure" duty.
Until now i dont see any ducati that can proper do offroad. So you mean the long and short suspension of motard/strada technically the same?

Again, my knowledge is only 1st and 2nd gen (stopped paying attention after that) but, you could NOT take the standard motard forks and slap them on a Strada. Pretty sure the same was true for the rear. It definitely had more travel. I don't remember why, just remember they are different. It was clear they tried to swiss-army knife the Strada suspension for an adventure profile.
In many areas, becoming a Certified Electrician Near Me[/b] through a formal apprenticeship program is the most effective way to learn electrician skills and gain the necessary experience to land high-paying jobs.
Most apprentice electricians complete their apprenticeship in just two years. Some apprentices get more training and experience than others, though, and some people who take advantage of a certified electrician apprenticeship program find that their job skills improve a great deal after their apprenticeship is finished.
