    Yeah the Ducati is your best bet the sport classic has around 90ish hp but should be pretty light but they are gonna be costly theres a Paul Smart edition on ebay for 14k.

        The maintenance, parts, and repair parts can be expensive on the euro stuff if you don't do your own wrenching or have a good parts supplier. We had an 87 Moto Guzzi Lemans in the mid to late 90's. 1500 miles, all original, and kept indoors all it's life. Most of it in the previous owners living room as a decoration. Neat bike to say the least. My first bike was an 87 Cagiva Allazurra 650 that used the ducati 650 motor. It was slow but fun to ride. I got most of my replacement parts from a dealer in Georgia when I couldn't source Locally. The Triumph Thruxton is pretty a pretty neat bike, I had a customer with one, he was extremely pleased with it.

                    Tail light (brake light) is on the left side were the plate mounts.

                      Thanks man,

                      I plan on getting new black shocks and blacking out the other little chrome bits.

                        You know what, I like the black out look but IMO gold wheels would look bitchin' on that thing.

                          Pronounced a "Greyhound" by Motorcycle Sport magazine, the release of the Ducati 750SS in 1973 ushered in a new era of sports bike handling and performance. In fact, it could be said this motorcycle was mor ethan a match against any comparable model from other manufacturers.

                          Italian motorcycle makers have always followed their own path in terms of style and design, and Ducati is no different. The 750SS was Ducati's first venture into the production of a large engine sports bike. It may have been a natural stepping stone in design from Ducati's own GT model, but some hold the opinion that Ducati designers may have collected parts from the famous Dell'Orto catalogue utilizing many fiber-glass odds and ends, even the fuel tank.
