          Saw this at Goodwood Festival of Speed yesterday.  Don't care what anyone else thinks of it, it (or something very similar) is on my must have list….

              You gonne need somebody, or yourself to build one.

              As a quick look, that's Ironhead Sportster with flat track seat and tank.

                  G - you talking bout the bike or the ass behind it? 😉
                  I'd agree on both, though I'd prefer the bike 😉

                    G, the bike looks great. I've promised myself a Harley Sportster "Iron" before I'm 45…..been reduced 5 years  😉

                              I saw one of these in Berlin and decided I wanted one…..

                              This is the 450 version, though they also came in 250 and 350.

                              Basically made for the US market, soi I'm going to have to start looking there…..

                                Which model is that I don't know Ducatis.

                                There is 1971 450cc Ducati Desmo for sale here in Finland.

                                It's veteran registered, which means it's fully restored. Asking price 7300€.

                                You can see it here.

                                  It is the 450 scrambler, so you got it right.  Thanks for the link.  I think for a European bike that is a good price, but i reckon I can do better with a US bike, so I'm going to sniff around a little more and do a little more research before jumping…...

                                    sure, it's just for comparison, and to show the price-range of almost pristine machine. I think there is a bit to negotiate, but not much.

                                        Giles, you're pretty tall and might find something like a Sportster to be on the small side. I certainly did, and one of the reasons I ride a BMW is that it's the right sort of size for me.

                                        The Ducati is a sweet looking bike. 😘

                                        If you're looking for inspiration then I'd suggest checking out Bike EXIF. They feature a lot of Triumphs and Harleys, but there seem to be a few old Beemers featured.

                                        And occasionally a custom Gold Wing…

                                        My favourites are what Ritmo Sereno is doing with '70s BMW Boxers.

                                        Apologies if I've ruined anyone's productivity for the day. 😉

                                          Thanks for the advice.  Currently on a hunt for that Ducati.  If I can find one and get it shipped to Michigan within next 2 weeks, I can get it shipped here for nothing…...
