So I finally picked out a bike. After all of my searching I did some research and had some discussions with owners past and present and decided on a 907. I know the Paso nay-sayers won't like it, but I'm excited and it fits the bill nicely for what I was looking for. The bike I chose was owned by a collector and has been meticulously maintained.

Hey Seanery nice score. Up until about a year ago I was the propud owner of it's little brother. I loved my Paso and wish I never would have parted with it. If I ever get another one it will be the 907.

Great choice !!! Speak any Italian ? Better learn, as they are a wonder to keep in the real world. Finicky , but like they say: C'est la Vie !!!! AND, you apparently actually found one without a front fender that has been not vandalized , (signed) by some ex-road racer at a track , when the PO had it there for the races. Besides, Sharpie pens do come in other colors, and if It was mine and I wanted it autographed, it would have to be in red, so you would have to look real hard to see the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) Enjoy !!!

ENJOY !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

Too bad I don't speak Ducati anymore, I still got the want's for a 851/888 one of these years. Keep an eye on the cam belts and rollers. Learn how to adjust the valves. Have fun...

I can't wait to see how the valvetrain works. Zois mentioned it once before...I hope I have someone around me who's done it before to make sure I don't kill it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Robin-I dig the RTs...looked at those, too, but a bit too much moolah for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Ahh the German connection----- MUCH moolah Serious drooolah (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) These guys can rock and roll at terminal velocity all day. Saw a guy 1 1/2 years ago up at Glacier, when we were there for a fellow 914 owners wedding . Put on about 40,000 miles a year on one of these RT's. Lives to ride, I guess, he had just motored in from TN. , and had ridden at warp speed for about 2 days to get there. Serious Iron Butt material. Over triple digit speeds all day long and had a Valentine hard wired into his helmet. Saved him about 4 times, he said just in the last two days. Said one trooper was so pissed, he had outbraked the gun, that he followed him at 65 for about 20 miles ! Too funny, and he said as soon as the trooper turned around again, the throttle lay wide open ! His skin was as dark as Bock Bier, and the consistencey of dry parchment scrolls unearthed from the Dead Sea. But the grin said it all !!!!!! Must have had a lot of German blood in his ancestory |
