My Dixie

Versatile, forgiving engine and gearbox. Plenty of poke (I've ridden mine to 126mph and not reached full-throttle) Smart, sexy and mean-looking naked street-fighter. The upright stance, wide bars and very low seat make this easy to maneuver and lovely in corners. Soon builds confidence. This is my first bike for 20 years and I love it to bits, though I am saving for louder cans!

Want a Ducati, but Maintenance Fees?
by: Suzuki Gladius

I've heard that maintaining Ducati is very expensive, $700 for a tune-up? Is it true?

Nice choice!

I like the naked bikes too! I have an '03 Z1000 Kawasaki which I love...who needs fairing? I've ridden it from Portland, OR., to the MotoGP race at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, along with several rides all over the states of Washington, Oregon and California. I like the comfort of wide handlebars and an upright riding position.

I considered the Monster when I went looking for new bikes before I bought the Z, but I was worried about the complexity and higher maintenance costs, and have always found inline-4 Kawi engines extremely reliable.

The Z felt more like my vintage bikes in the comfort department, as I have several old 2-stroke Yamaha twins that I'll always love too.

Do you get to the continent to ride much? I lived in Germany for nearly 3 years in the late 70s and LOVED the twisty roads there!
