Which was more than I paid for mine when it was new!

Yep, I had that one on my wach list too.

I wonder if Ducati keep an eye on the used market, and the Cafe racer boom, will do another series of 1100 Evo powered sports classics? That would be nice...

I heard that these V7's have accounted for a 31% increase in sales.
You can't really argue with that.

Dont suppose you have a link to that STATISTICAL factoid do you?? or have you started a thread about in on another forum where 'there are some really interesting replies'?

That was the rarer full fairing twin shock model, but yeah, the prices are only going north.

I'll wait and see what a few others go for before I get too smug about prices as they seem to have jumped a fair bit recently and may settle back.
As much as the unfaired ones like B..'s seem to be the ones that everyones looking for, the faired twinshocks like mine are the rarest in the UK, more so than the 'limited edition' Smart replica.
I dont put this down to anything other than the faired BP was less popular than the previous models while they were current, while everyone coo'ed over how cool they looked very few people actually parted with money for them at the time.

Nevertheless, it's not often you can buy a new bike and potentially sell it at a profit four years later.

Shut up Weeksy, you had it over a week!

In all honesty, I'm thankful for ownin' it (as you know), if it makes a small profit, then that's just an added bonus
I don't even wanna think of sellin' her, but if a house presents itself, I need the funds
