Our own Charlie Hahn of Phoenix was quoted (below). Top end production is from Ducati, the Desmosedici price is $72,000. Link to the article is -- Oh, Nice interview Charlie!!!

Last October, Charlie Hahn bought the Victory Vision Tour Premium. The unusually sleek shape of the $21,499 motorcycle turns heads, says Mr. Hahn, 57 years old. But the Phoenix construction-company superintendent says he bought the bike because it is comfortable for the rides of 1,000 miles and more that he often takes. And it has so many features that the sticker price seems like a bargain compared with the prices of other bikes, he says. "It has an air suspension that you can adjust according to your weight, and the cruise control is just like the one in your car," he says. The seat and handgrips are heated, and its streamlined saddlebags carry a week's worth of baggage for two people, he says. |
