From the looks of my bike, it's bordering the limit of total loss, with just around 5k miles on it, and a slew of mods. In the event that it is a total drop, I'm going to have an opportunity to pickup a Triumph or a Ducati at seriously reduced prices because of my job.
Right now I'm hopping back and forth between the
09 Triumph Daytona 675 - Jet black (this exhaust, but black body)
09 Ducati 848 - Pearl White
While the Duc is one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen, and definitely not lacking in power, I'm not entirely feeling the lower revlimits of the 848, the slightly higher pricetag/maintainence requirements. I do love the single sided swingarm though!
The daytona has its flaws as well. Number one being that it's a Triumph.....(personal reasons for this comment, but important nonetheless).
Although the extra cost of the duc, rolled into the purchase of the daytona would definitely be a VERY nice bike...
--slipper, zard gp full system, woodcraft case covers, gilles/woodcraft/arrow adjustable rearsets, flushmounts, fender elim, asv levers about match the stock duc
I'm already listing mods for both, as it would become my track/street dual purpose bike once the summer comes around.
any opinions either way? comments?
