    Okay, so it's not a real adventure bike... but I live in the city now and I needed to get this out of my system. It's a fantastic little machine...

    Congrats man... it is indeed a wonderful and fantastic machine ( oh
    to be that limber again ). Enjoy it big and get it out to some areas
    where the roads look a little less like rulers.

    Congrats! I love the looks of those bikes, but I'm a bit big for them (6'3" 230lbs). I want a Ducati, but I think I'll try a Monster. They are a bit easier for a lanky guy to ride.

    Get that baby out and test the twisties!

    Beautiful pics. Congrats on a very nice bike. I've been digging my 748 for a couple of years now...the only problem is it's turned into an addiction for Ducati superbikes. I really want an 848, but the xx9 series is starting to grow on me as well.

    Damn
    ! I hate when that happens.
    Something tells me it probably has not blunted your enthusiasm
    one iota. I think that something is red.

    The adventure in owning a 748 is servicing it and getting out of bed the day after a long ride!

    Skinner State Park out in Western MA. 116 West of 91 is another great one.
