New bike to me

[Wrinkly]

Riding for over 55years and maybe around 130-140 bikes owned I've just purchased my first Ducati.
I initially went to have a look at a very very clean 2010 1200 Multistrada. It was a very nice bike but at 70 years of age in December, me not the bike, it was just too much of a handful.
Getting back to the showroom I spied a couple of 950 Multistradas. I took out an absolutely mint 2018 model in red with an impeccable Ducati service history. I was looking for something with a bit of panache, something just to take out on high days and dry days and something that would have a bit more go than my V85. So I could go and have a bit of a play now and again. The Multistrada seemed to fit the bill perfectly, so a deal was done.
I'm not selling the V85 it's a fantastic bike, but the multistrada will hopefully just scratch a little itch that I occasionally have.
It's a lovely bit of kit.

20178 Ducati Multistrada 950 https://share.google/4Iu4IMHQZoshqLA5r

I assume this is the beast. Looks very nice and a decent price too?

Nice one Steve. I knew it wouldn’t be long until another bike graced your garage.

The Stelvio 12 is still doing well. I think I’ve added about 2,000 miles since I bought it. We had a trip to Scotland last week on it and dashed home mostly ahead of that named storm. Brilliant with just the right amount of oomph and rock steady in the wind and rain and possibly the best handling bike I’ve owned. That Ducati will be a lithe light lively thing in comparison.

Yes that's the one. I initially went to look at a 1200 which in the end wasn't for me. I knew I shouldn't have taken this 950 out. I had to put my 1100gs project in P/Ex. Suppose I can spend the winter cleaning this. Plus the V85 is due an end of summer deep clean.

So pleased that you're enjoying it Austin.

I don't think he means the one on his scrotum.

Think of all the merch you and your family can buy you for Christmas.

We don't do Christmas. Not for any religious reason, we haven't done it for years.

We don't do Christmas. Not for any religious reason, we haven't done it for years, since I started buying two Guzzi’s per year EVERY year.

Fixed it for you Steve ^^^^^^^^
