Quickly everyone! Sell your Suzukis and buy Triumph and Ducati race bikes!

Yeah! I think we can get both at Erico Motorsports, right? 00--00

If Erico isn't your cup of tea (maybe it is yours Chris......(\00\)) Foothills BMW/Triumph and Northern Colorado Euro sell those bikes too.

Not really, just thought the jab was too good to pass up. I do want to stop in and see the dealership especially if you've got a couple of Ducati stickers I can trade you some cash for... My 2 y/o daughter got her first wooden bicycle (walk along) for Christmas and it is in need of some treatment. :)

What, so not only have some 1000 frames had problems but am I hearing that 750's do too?
Maybe there's something to this whole trellis frame design which allows them though sometimes to be flexy but to resist cracking too. Ducati might just be onto something :lol:

hahaha loved this part

“Suzuki has also received reports of cracking or breakage of the frame behind and below the steering neck when the motorcycle is subjected to repeated hard landings from hazardous maneuvers such as extreme or extended wheelies or other stunts...If the frame becomes broken during this type of extreme use, a crash could occur.
