Cough.....
I've been lusting after one ever since they debuted. These darn kids and their daddy-toy-sapping needs!
Let me know if you're disappointed when you get it back, I'm ALWAYS looking at used SF's.

My streetfighter is the first duc I've owned that I figure I'll never sell. Unless they come out with an 1199 streetfighter

If I can get the old girl back to her prior level of reliability I share your sentiments. It's the only bike I have ever had that can basically do everything - commute, canyon carving, not burn my legs to a crisp or break my wrists, etc. I actually settled for a Pani. What I wanted was to trade up to a newer SF, but when I found out they weren't making the 1098 anymore I switched teams and picked up a Pani. I can't see keeping the Pani the same duration as the SF though. I think the Pani is more of a "keep 2-3 years and trade up" kind of bike.

I'm guessing they will come out with the new SF based on the 1199's little brother motor. Based on sales, I believe the original SF turned out to be too brutal for most riders. Hence, the 848-based SF and discontinuation of the 1098 motor.
I am not one of those people, and still lust after the new/old stock 2011 Titanium-Gray SF-S sitting in my dealer's showroom. Anyone got a spare $19K sitting around?

We're cut from the same cloth. I have a 2010 1098. They still want $19k for a 2011? Dang!
They have the sticker on it with the MSRP. The bike came from the inventory of Jacksonville Duc that went out of business. I think they would take less, but I don't have anything to pay for it! So maybe you can loan me $16K and I'll see if they take it?

yep, what he says, ducs with 20+k miles on them are not highly sought after most people are used to finding three year old garage queens with 2500 miles on them. I've never considered trading the SF as I know it'd hurt my feelings when they'd offer me 5-7k for it. Since it's paid for and has thousands and thousands of miles left in it I'll keep her!

She was insulted at the $5k. I could hear a faint rumble from the termis.
