Talk me out of it!!!

I found what may be the last brand new and unsold Ducati SportClassic Paul Smart Edition, relatively cheap too.

I can afford it but I can't find a reason to justify it other than: it's pretty and I want it.
I already have 2 bikes, 2 cars, and 2 trucks, and I haven't even moved out of my parent's house... officially.



Aaaagh!
So much internal conflict!!

Seriously guys talk me out of it.

the real Paul Smart LE has ohlins front and rear, and black belt covers ... so make sure you're getting (i mean not getting) the real deal.

as far as talking you out of it ... they are more aggressive than anything i've ever sat on (but i am short)

Buy it and then sell one car and one truck.

I'd buy a low-milage used one since it will be cheaper and already have pipes on it.

Thumbs up

Why not just buy it? Keep your other machines, because they're obviously nice to have around. And, the Paul Smart Ducati is not your average ride. Enjoy!

I want to be you!!! Except for the living with the parents thing, that doesn't go that well with the lady's.
I say sell one of the cars or trucks to justify the bike. You can never have enough bikes. And plus it sounds like one of those rare opportunities, don't pass that up. You'll be kicking yourself later.
