Looking for a new to me (used) bike.

Once upon a time Ducati made sport-tourers. Did you see this one: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/nvn/m ... 44635.html

This one looks a little rough, but lotsa wiggle left in the price...

There's a ton of other bikes on that site too.

Yes, Wikipedia is a wonderful cut and paste resource, innit?

Considering the "Pan Weave" was reported to occur at speeds around 180kmh, though, I'm wondering what just type of riding you're planning to do?

Anyway, aside from the ST, there must be something suitable to be found in your neck of the woods...?

Actually, Wikipedia is just one source, there are more then a few online articles by British and European newpapers and riding mags on the subject, plus I belong to a British riding board and the subject was discussed in great detail, one of the members reported experiencing the problem.

While I rarely hit 180 KPH on the way to work, I generally cruised on the Connie between 140 and 160 KPH, (how I don't have any tickets is beyond me) and the Pan Weave happened at 180 under certain load conditions....given my fat arse and belly, I might exceed those load conditions at a slower speed....so I am a wee bit leery about the bike.

Found a tasty 2000 Triumph Trophy 1200 in the Portland area for USD2700.

27K miles, plenty of life left in that bad boy yet!

If you end up getting it, there is a Yahoo Group for legacy Trophys that you'll want to join. It's the biggest collection of Trophy knowledge going on the 'net (even bigger than Triumphrat). I can send you the URL if you like.

If you put that money into your Connie or your Saber...
