I think I need one of those Sport 1000s!

bbanjo · October 22, 2003, 12:02:00 PM

If the Sport came in Silver, I'd be on my short list.

mrslush50 · October 22, 2003, 12:09:58 PM

love the music on that site too. :lol:

Those are sooo sweet! I dig the Sport 1000 pipes, the PaulSmart Dunstall fairing, Dual shock mounted Single shock, and the frame, and the pipes (same as the Sport); and I like the swingarm on all of them, but the GT is the bike I'd buy, it's just more appealing to me.

JohnNS · October 22, 2003, 01:42:11 PM

Wow, those are gorgeous! Be tough to choose one were I lucky enough to be in such a position, but that Sport 1000...*drool*

And yeah...the music is cool

Sport 1000 all the way!
Cool site!

Rich500 · October 22, 2003, 01:55:32 PM

I am all over that Sport 1000! I cant imagine the price... Id bet it would be reasonable though.

The music makes want to never leave the site

Holy cow, I am in love.

That Sport 1000 is pure eye candy. It also has some sweet suspension. I'd have to change my underwear after every ride :lol: :nana:
I'll take mine in Red but that Yellow is suweet

The GT is a very nice looking biposto. I'm still a solo seat guy though :mrgreen:

I'm feeling too lazy to click on anything on the site for info.
Are those new bikes for sale or old bikes you're lucky to find someone selling?

zzzz

um... Im speechless, have you not heard of Ducati? Do those bikes not look like they have modern components?
Are you really too lazy to check out some of the most fantastic bikes out there?

They are retor. Completely modern bikes, with modern tech, and everything, with old school '70's styling.

Rich500 · October 22, 2003, 10:03:52 PM

Retro, not retor. I got ahead of myself!

Diderich · October 23, 2003, 06:07:19 AM

The faired one was at my local duck dealer. I was amazed when i found out it was A. new, B. for sale. I can't remember the price but it was in the mid-teens...I just stood there and stared at it for a while...

JohnNS · October 23, 2003, 08:59:05 AM

Diderich, you HAVE to go buy it and give us a full review! It's important for us to know about these things you know.

Then, after you've tested it, you have to take it to any other interested site members (ME!) for them to test as well. It's equally important to get get several opinions for a more complete review.

The one by Sharpstown? I may need to go by there.

eximport...off of the southwest freeway.

I looked on their website and they listed the bike i saw as the DUCATI MH 900/02 REPLICA. So seems to be a different bike. Evidently my memory is failing early at 28.

Same style though. Retro cafe racer with modern bits. Probably will cost about the same. I almost would rather spend $2000 pimping out an sv1000 and have $5000 to spend on something else. Plus I would have a unique bike and not a unique bike like everyone elses...

The bike i saw at eximports looks like this

Ah, the MH900e!

They had one of these at one of my local bike shops also. It's super futuristic and retro all at the same time. Me likey.

Michael · October 23, 2003, 12:20:23 PM

Oh, Baby! Oh, Baby! Oh, Baby! They are all that with a cherry on the top! Pity I can't afford one.

If I could I'd go for the Sport 1000- same idea as the SV1000, in the same way as Elle McPherson is the same basic idea as Roseanne!

I think a better comparison would be Marilyn to Brittney. the SV1000 does not deserve to be compared to Roseanne. It's a very good looking bike, but pales in comparison to the classic lines of the Sport 1000.

The Buddha · October 23, 2003, 02:17:06 PM

Am I the only one or is there anyone else that is rather un moved by these... Yea The MH900 had a lot of artistically machined.... snore.... But other than the Single sided swingarm... I thought it looks ugly in pics... These are actually better than that...and new and shiny retro look but still nothing I'll fork out 10K for and honestly I dont even think if someone bought me these and dropped it off at my door... I'd want to keep it. I probably would sell it and buy triumph's twin cruiser the america.... Does anyone else feel that way... Or do I need to check in for a Psych evaluation... I wont Cos I am Srinath "A beautiful Mind" Seshadri but just asking...
Cool.
Srinath.

mrslush50 · October 23, 2003, 02:44:02 PM

the dual mounted single shock, the retro tread pattern tires, the black racing stripe, the circular turn signals, the single seat, the air-cooled twin...

yes, you need to check yourself into the phych ward. the sport 1000 is the coolest bike ever.
