Nah, but I can wait a year and pay cash money. If I financed the whole thing, the payment plus insurance would only be about $320 per month. But I promised myself I would not go in debt for something I don't really need. I am going to have to burn that blank check laying on my desk. I only have so much self control. I may just buy a disposable beater this spring, then go big next year. That's what I did last year, and I didn't lose a penny.

Anyone read the new cycle world? has a diesel KLR that the military has been using that is supposed to be in production in the next year or so. I think it said it gets like 125 mpg or something like that.

Yeah, that bikes been around about a year. The article I read last year said that it got around 95 mpg. The performance was horrible, even compared to a stock KLR. With the price of diesel, it would have to get 100 mpg + to be salable.

If I had to have a Ducati Monster, I would get a 1996 model and save myself $10K. For a decade or more they didn't change much. Then I would learn how to adjust the valves and keep the dry clutch quiet.
