Was attracted to them during my first internship six years back. Would love to hear about the cost of maintaining these or daily-ing them. In Bay area but might move to Seattle in sometime.

I'm some what short at 6'2 by Blind standards so can't really take bigger bikes.

Any ownership reviews?

      No wonder you shat on the Panigale. There are a few startups but it's not really a thing. You're best off scheduling test rides at dealerships.

      Oh. I was thinking more like atleast a week ownership. That 'here is your TD' isn't my thing to be honest.

    Maybe I'm a hipster but the new triumph scramblers are just so cool. Have you considered them at all? Otherwise my vote is for the GS

      That's nice of you. I would like try them. I haven't compared saddle height, reach and all the other elements yet.

      Yep. That's true and then realized you're talking Ducati.

      I didn't understand any of that. Did you mean that your dick is too large to bother and besides race bikes are made out of paper?
