I would have to look hard at the Tiger. Come to think of it, I guess I would have to wait a few months to see what the new Guzzi 1200

Sport looks like with bags, no? You are crazy not to take a serious look at the Tiger, that's my pick of the comfy, fast, multi-function, touring, way cool universe with bags.

If you are unhappy with the offer made by the shop owner, I would contact Ducati directly and explain your situation and why you are not satisfied with the offer. It might help to point out to the dealer that you buy your tires from HIM! Probably lots of other stuff too, huh? Locals like you who buy his bikes and bring them back for service are the meat of his business. This would be a good time for him not to cheap out.
