I agreeTo me that is retro crap, the Triumph (sorry!) of form over function. But I'm sure many folk will have bought one and truly love it. It's great that we're all different.
I have talked to many Daytona merchants in my many years of going there. Bikers spend a ton of money and cause few problems, Number 2 are the Hot Rodders, they spend a lot and as they're generally older, don't cause problems. The NASCAR crowd spend most of their money at the speedway. and the Spring breakers.... yeah, trouble.Had a friend who went to Daytona to see the races, not to party and be stupid. He told me that the hotel owners liked the motorcyclists far more than the college kids on spring break. The "bikers" didn't trash the rooms or sneak out without paying their bills and were polite.
If you turn your back on those bikers, the bikes are going in the room!I have talked to many Daytona merchants in my many years of going there.

Street fighters are cool enough but the Ducati 600 Monster from around 2000 was way cooler. Different strokes and all...View attachment 346042
Same question?
I've been seeing those for relatively inexpensive but they are usually high miles, covered in carbon fiber and chewed up frame sliders, and seem like they would be very expensive to fix. I test rode a HyperMotard before getting the triple. It was jerky and the clutch was way harder to find that point but I was also a new rider. Funny story, I got lost on that test ride and was gone like 2 hours and couldn't find the dealership. It was right before closing, dude wasn't happy.Street fighters are cool enough but the Ducati 600 Monster from around 2000 was way cooler. Different strokes and all...
