WHY...why WHHHHYYYYY! ? ! ? !!!!!
Ducati parts aren’t cheap, lol. Nah I just put a price out to the universe and someone came willing to pay. The better half of me didn’t want to sell it and I may regret it soon.
Oh, man, you're going to regret it! I also have a Ducati and I reckon the XS makes a wonderful alternative riding experience - chalk and cheese but both wonderful in their own ways.
Let's just say that you don't have an XS at the moment ....

Yes, at the moment you're "XS-less", but that doesn't have to last forever. Keep an eye open, sometimes these things pop up when you least expect it. The couple I've latched onto over the years were what I consider "rescue" XS's. They were pretty neglected and I like to think I saved them from the junk yard, lol.

all my xs bikes 5 of them where all rescues, kinda like they jjust followed me home like they knew somehow i was the one that would have the love and understanding to recouped them . lol, that's how i got the first one and i guess the word is out there now.
Well you guys are making regret my decision. Unfortunately I don’t think there is many on the island of Oahu.
Don't lose hope. They made so many of these, there's still lots tucked away in the backs of garages just sitting there. Eventually, the owners drag them out and they see the light of day again. Many times, they just want them gone so the price is very reasonable, sometimes even free, lol.
Looks like my bike is back up for sale. I told my wife that if it gets low enough I’m buying it back.
So you're already feeling the itch! Good man ..... And I hope it ends up back in your garage 
Wonder what's up with that? Do you think the guy was just trying to turn a quick profit? Well, seeing that he's cut his asking price $700 already, that doesn't seem to have worked out, lol. Is he still asking more than he paid you for it?
Not could be.............. it is obvious he thought he was going to make a big profit, 2 grand on 3.2 roughly 60% mark up........still about 40%
Welcome to the forum Matt!
Yes, welcome aboard. Lots of good people here, plus some plonkers like me 
Spotted my old XS the other day and stopped to see how she was doing.
Doing quite well by the look of it. When are you going to get your next one?
