Hi,

My first Ducati was a 1974 750 Sport, yellow, single seat, clip-ons, the full cafe racer look. Bought it in 1975 and owned for 5 years before selling (for $2500) when we moved to Australia. Purchased a Ducati 900 GTS in 1982 in Aussi, brought it back to NZ and sold it in 1983, what an over weight under powered pig of a bike.

That was all for road bikes until 2001 when I bought a Yamaha RZ350 to get back on 2 wheels, had that for 1 year then bought the Paso 750. No regrets.

Cheers,

Fraser.

A blue/white 906 was my first bike.
Really, not an easy bike for a newbie and in fact I fell down many times.
