A used 900ss is MUCH cheaper than the ZZR. And it is a Ducati (easier to win shows with ... see, I know your weak spot .... :-P )

Maintenance would be higher, insurance would be cheaper.

does that duc still run a dry clutch?

to be honest with you, the next three bikes I am seriously looking at is Buell Firebolt, Honda 600RR, and then a used Duc Monster.....I'd like a S4R, but that's too much money...and the S2R's all the reviews just seem to say it's underpowered.
