Why would you buy the exact same bike a second time?!?
Beautiful. I test-rode a 959 this summer. The riding position's too extreme for my style of riding, but I had a blast. Superb engine and the exhaust note from the stock pipe is amazing.
Honestly all I wanted was a clean red sport bike, preferably used but who knew its so hard to find one? I couldn't find any 09-12 ZX6R's or Daytonas with reasonable mileage so I was considering a new Daytona but just couldn't get over that front end. I really hate those stupid silver eyelashes they gave the poor bike.
In the end I decided if I was going to be spending 8-10 grand I might as well get something I really love. I've always had a thing for a Ducatis and it was exactly what I was looking for...got the insurance quote numbers looked good and I got a great deal with 0% financing so put down the cash I had instead. I will be keeping this bike for a while possibly forever, so I'm happy, its only got about 150km's on it so far but I think it'll be great in the long run. Valve checks are at 24k km intervals and oil changes once a year but I'll be doing those more frequently.
