Haha, they just called me too. Santa BarbaraMotorsports still has theirs. They emailed me this morning. Has the demand tapered off that fast?

Damn! I just threw up in my mouth a little. That is steep, but doesn't surprise me. BH Ducati has always been pricey. Santa BarbaraMotorsports has them. Salesman's name is Lionel. Probably get it for under $7k

Treach, totally agree. However, the fact that we couldn't get them gave me time to think about it. I think I was hung up on the RC390 because it's the new shiny thing. When I actually checked it out (the second time), I wasn't as in love with it as I thought I was. Currently riding a...

I know the RC would be a fun bike; however, I currently...
Just called Sunnyvale. That Duke390 is a production model that isn't for sale, only display. Still no word on the arrival of the RC. Salesman said to check back in a week or two.

Forgot to mention, I'm 5'6", 180lbs and the bike's fit and feel reminded me of my first bike, a '99 R6. I expected it to feel like a Ninja 250, which are really small and cramped (one thing I was worried about), but it really felt like a larger sport bike . Again, I think this bike is gonna be...
