Almost bought this beast today, but we couldn't agree on a price. Damn quick... Too damn quick... Need to look for something smaller.

If it was too quick you could have m10 swapped it!

Um... no.
A more sensible option: http://madison.craigslist.org/mcd/4949378468.html
I'm just too damn cheap to spend that much when I know I'm going to change pretty much everything on it to get what I want. I'll probably buy a clapped out 80s or 90s 250 dual sport and make it my bitch.
Need to stop thinking about bikes and finish my car
haha -
^^ +1.
Once I sell the Duc I'll probably be looking for a cheap supermoto type bike to putz around on.
You're selling the Duc already?

Stay away from the 230s and xr650l. They are gutless turds
Xr650r is a decent water cooled bike, still big and slow for what they are. Any of the sub 250cc stuff that came from factory as supermotos are gutless.
The drz400 is pretty choked up from factory as well, but it is an insanely reliable platform that hasn't changed in almost 13 years.
To get to stock 450s and larger (more of a "race bike") platform you would have husqvarna, KTM, husaberg, bmw. Huskies were good after 08 when they figured out their fuel injection issues, but still have a "race bike" maintenance schedule.
KTM was good when they started making the 530s and 500exc (need Supermoto conversion). Stay away from the LC4 and rotax junk. Husa I have no experience with other than their motor sits @ a 70 degree angle and its a bitch to find parts.
Bmw 450 is meh to be honest. There was a year or two when there was a huge cluster fu** of who owned who (bmw owned husky for a while, ktm owned husa for a bit, etc)
If you want to buy an aprillia, buy two bikes. One for parts and the other to put on a stand and stare at

Yeah, moving to a new place in 2 months and I don't have room for the 911, Escape, Victory + Ducati
