I've cheated and feel dirty

Contact has been initiated. He has some interesting trade parameters as well.

What Iv'e really wanted for some time is a half fairing 750SS. Maybe without particularly rewarding roads nearby, I should forget that and concentrate on one of these?
As the 750's of limited fairing are what really trips my trigger - letting this one be "the one that..." is probably silly.

Have a look at the monoshock mount on the monster you're considering.  If I recall, the supersport frames required unbolting the upper shock mount to give adequate access to the rear valve cover for inspection/adjustment.  My monster does not & I don't think this era 750 requires getting the suspension out of the way either.  

I think the one that really did it for me was a white-frame 900SS (supersport).  There were "CR"- Cafe Race versions from the era with 1/2 fairings, but the fully tarted up models got my complete attention.  I never found one close enough at a time when finances would allow, so I never had a "one that got away" moment with an SS version.  I still think they're among the most gorgeous bikes.  

Good luck with whatever you decide.  Shopping is fun & being on the edge of a good deal you can take or leave has its' own sense of satisfaction.  

I always thought it'd be cool to do a bike in Bianchi colors- black body and pale green frame, number plate, & logos.

Yep, comparing to what I see at school daily. Junior High or Freshman in HS to me. No reflection on MY age as I'm comparing to current girls running around the halls. Disgusting to me that they chose that LOOK for that SEXY ad.
Alright enough on that chick. I've seen many a good ad with motorcycles and chicks that possess outstanding qualities. Guzzi's even had some winners.  ;-T

Whew...

This one went off the rails!

And yes. You should see the girls I photograph at bat mitzvahs. 13 going on 23. Yikes!

Anyways, keeping my eyes open for a Monster of some sort. Although, an SR800 is sounding a touch more interesting and less work. Might be less fun tho.

I might be the wrong guy to ask being more cruiser oriented, but TO ME, the Monster is the essence of Ducati for the street. Well, and maybe the Scrambler too.

DO IT!

Never been much on girls who are trying to be the equivalent of show poodles.

This gal right here is more woman than those fluffy bits of cheesecake will EVER be:

Thanks for that heads-up. We're down to the trade aspect of how many and what configuration of rifles against the bike. Being rifle "poor" I'm not too concerned as long as he doesn't want one of my pet shooters. That's not to say I shoot domestic animals so y'all just back off! :BEER:

As long as I can get to belts and valves without too much of a curfuffle, I'm in.

Although, if it works out, I pity the neglect I foresee for my Barely Davidson.

Colors now, I still have a nice stash of "off the boat" Scuderia Ferrari paint I've been saving for the Sport 1100. I'd love to (purists cringe.... wait for it... HERE) blast it and the Ducati.

DO IT!

^^^^^^^^ THIS is good advice.   ;D ;-T

The 900ss is the essence of Ducati for the street. Well, and maybe the Scrambler Monster too.

DO IT!

LOL, I get your point, but I think the 900ss is more the essence of Ducati's race heritage... slightly different point than what I was making.

Esp. the original 900SS:
