no , decker catches balls in the endzone <| sep |> You would hope . I have faith in you regardless ! <| sep |> Absolutely as much as you could want ! Feel free to pm for more <| sep |> MT 07 residuals are cast in granite , so you ' ll be OK there . The MT 09 , not so much . I like Ducatis , very much , but I have always prized them for their traditional values of utter simplicity and ' less is more ' the Lotus ethos , if you will . I bought a brand new 750 SS in 1997 , and ran it for 17 years . It was as reliable as all hell one duff spark plug brought about its only unscheduled halt , light , simple , and fabulous fun . If Ducati made an entrylevel sports bike in that mould , I ' d buy it . But they don ' t . An 850 or so , stripped down , budget suspension , basic instrumentation , as little electronics as possible , a decent sized tank , a riding position that isn ' t crippling , and a decent seat . That ' d be my perfect Duke . The Scrambler is very much in the ' light and simple ' mould , but I simply don ' t want a ' street ' bike . I want a road bike , if you see what I mean . And Ducatis are shite in town I hardly ever got my 750 into any gear higher than third , and the steering lock was a joke . Anyway , I have town bikes . The early Multistradas are having a lot of issues . Electronic , mainly , though I know one unhappy owner who had to have replacement barrels on his because the ones it came with turned out to be porous castings . But the real reason is just that Ducati seem to have departed entirely from their original design philosophy . So what would I go for ? Triumph Tiger the bigger one . Honda Africa Twin , maybe . Kawasaki 1000 Versys my younger brother has just bought one .
