When I saw it, I almost considered buying it insetad of the Hyperstrada and just adding the wider seat and other "strada" goodies over time...but then it starting looking like an expensive undertanking [i.e. seat, luggage and racks, passenger grab bar, sump guard, risers], so I went for the red 'strada.
If I could get the wider seat, windscreen, grab bar [mostly for strapping on a small duffel bag] and sump guard without hassle and for not more than 500 bucks, I'd be happy to wait on the other stuff, but I really need those items out of the box, so to speak.
Ive recently been more attracted to white cars and bikes. I had a dark silver yamaha R6 but i always liked the white version a lot more. Now that ive decided to buy a touring bike ill be definitely going for the white hyper. It will be the perfect match for the nissan juke i bought on december
Hmmmm, let's see. First car I ever owned, white. First motorcycle, white. First new car, white. First custom motorcycle I ever built, white. First full custom bicycle, you guessed it, white. You'd think I would be sick of white by now but nope, first Ducati will be white.
Maybe there's a twelve step program for this white thing I seem to have.
All my favorites cars owned over the years where white. My '00 R6 was white/black/red. Performance machines with white/black accents are just sexy to me.
I'm actually surprised the white Strada is so conservatively painted...usually Duc throws their Italian flare in the mixing bowl.
Not decided yet, I need to try for size, if the SP with lower seat fits me then thats what I'll buy, but if not It will have to be the special order hyperstarda lowered. I'm only 5'6"
leaning towards the arctic white.
That is another option, i so like the looks of the SP. I should know in a few weeks whether the SP is too tall for me or not, just want to get off this rig already and get to my local dealer, this is killing me lol.
