Apologies for the cluttered background as this is a bit of a knee-jerk advert. Just returned from from a ride out where I happened to find myself drooling over a Ducati Scrambler in the dealer and just wouldn't be doing myself a service if I didn't make a snap decision to sell my 1200 and buy said S...

Changing the bike is cheating. She'll just jump on her own given the option but I think it's weird taking two when there's room on mine for another.

I confess to being a very occasional motorcyclist these days, hate getting it filthy and having to spend hours cleaning it.

As I've never seen or sat on one I popped over to Kawasaki in Brum to look at a sport model with 24k on the clock. Definitely like the R12, but the specimen they had was very shabby and not been looked after. Screen was so scratched it looked like it had been cleaned with a brillo pad, all the bolt...

Late maybe but that one was way too far to consider!!
I accept that it's unlikely I'll find one on my doorstep though.

Having got together a nice budget for a new bike I'm having a dilemma in deciding whether to get an S4R Ducati, I've always had Ducatis, or a R1200S. Popped over to Gloucester at the weekend to see what £5.5k gets me in a dealer and can only say I was very disappointed. Rusty nuts, fuzzy casings, sc...
