Vehicle 6...(not yet), year 20??
ok... I admit it... I don't currently own a motorbike (at time of press), which deems the name of this website void! Actually the bike exists, but it's still at the shop waiting for me. Luckily the most difficult hurdle was overcome, the big question, query-opening, arguing-starting, fact-listing, more fighting, biggest query of all times, namely the "which bike?". Most guys know that girls will chose their vehicle according to colour/looks/cute handlebars/pink seat/other irrelevant accessories... whereas guys will choose a bike according to power/functionality/specifications (on/off road etc.). After hundreds of hours of arguing and googling I have finally come to an agreement with myself. My companion on my trips will be a Ducati Scrambler 803cc for a number of reasons as listed below:
-reliability (Ducatis are not unreliable any more, no matter the rumours!): ☑
-min. of 2 cylinders for long distance adventures: ☑
-air cooled (less things to go wrong) ☑
-seats: 2 ☑
-fairing: ☑
-hard paniers by Holan: ☑
-low consumption (ca. 4,5lit/100km): ☑
-weight: very low for a 2 cylinder bike (ca. 175kg kurb weight) ☑
-and most importanty (as size this time does really matter): saddle height = 77cm i.e. perfect for little people like me with small air-clearance between crotch and planet earth's surface ☑
