Quote from: Drew on April 25, 2010, 09:17:47 PMThe 999 is well-modified and is a beast! Oddly enough, it is actually more comfortable than the older 998s or new 1198s. I've never had an issue with an aching back or cramped wrists. It doesn't like to go slow, however and is an absolute blast on the track - which I try to do a couple times a year. The Griso is comfortable and capable. It is not a slouch or a "cruiser". Definitely very sporty - although not quite a sportbike. Gorgeous to boot! Can't say I necessarily prefer one over the other as they each have their own unique character and focus. They're both beautiful machines. Although the 999 design was a bit polarizing for some, it stands out as a daring design that was one of the winningest race models in Ducati's Superbike line - and it only had a very short model life. I find its lines beautiful and unique - and pictures don't do them justice - they look even better in person. ;-T-DrewHere's mine set up for touring: Of course, it's limited to one person, so I also have this: Tom

My Lario
Well, it's a difficult one, I've just got it running again after it being sat in the garage for 14 years. It's my husband's bike but he can't ride anymore but he wanted to go on it again so I had to pass my tests & get the spanners out to make this possible.It has a two into one exhaust header & a straight through battered old Neto end can, high lift cam, wierd carb setup, etc., as it was raced by the original importer in the 1980s.Lower frame was powder coated sometime in the early 1990s so is immaculate but black.Ride wise, it's a handful at low speed in heavy traffic, but once out on the twisty open roads here it feels like it's just taking the best line possible in corners & pulling madly out of them. Sort of fly by thought. Effortless.Powerwise, I've not opened it up as the roads aren't long enough, but long uphill stretches it just keeps on accelerating very hard until I decide it's way too fast.Noise wise, well, it sounds simply awesome. Young childen can be seen covering their ears as I pass by.It's a complete animal, my Italian Stallion. ;D
My T3 outfit at the Guzzi Club Scottish rally at Cromarty last weekend.It was great weekend in a beautiful part of the country with a good bunch of people ;-T
