Eh up,

Have just been offered a nice 52 plate Ducati 999 for £3500 off an old mate..I know the bike is immacualte and he cleans it with a toothbrush. so i'm in a bit of a dilemma.....do i go for it or keep the Blade which i've had for a couple of years and really like it...hmm but a nice shiny Duke for cheap money??? The missus won't let me have both!!!

Factor in the servicing costs - might not be as cheap after all. However, all things being equal, it would be the Duke for me!

Ok i have decided against the Duke....I am happy with the Blade and the Duke is not very comfy although it is a stunning looking bike...
