I would be HIGHLY interested - especially at that price (I wouldn't even try to haggle him down!) Sadly I'm about 8-9 months away at the earliest from purchasing and something tells me it won't be around by then
Yeah --- Ive been getting feedback from a multi-Ducati owning friend that's been saying the maintenance costs on the 996 (and to a lesser but still inflated rate the 998s) are astronomical comparative to any other bike out there, even the MV Agustas... so that may be knocking them out of the running before things even get serious... but we'll see.
