A comfortable, agile tourer powered by Ducati’s iconic air-cooled V-Twin from the 900SS – for some, that’s the perfect description of a motorcycle. It’s rare, versatile, it sounds great, and it will stand out at Starbucks again all the R1200GS’ as not many were imported to the US.
The Gran Canyon’s 904cc engine produces 63 horsepower and yields 36 miles per gallon. For a little more information, check out this article on Motorcyclist, where they call the Gran Canyon a “Smart Money” buy.
This bike (VIN: ZCGAEDJH1YV020536) has a healthy 37,000 miles over two owners – it’s claimed to be in extraordinary condition. There are multiple upgrades, my favorites of which include sealed spoked rims which can accept tubeless tires, both sizes of OEM windshields, Krauser bags, Bill Mayer saddle, Staintune stainless steel exhaust, Touratech crash protection, heated grips, and higher compression (9.1:1) pistons. You’ll also get the factory shop manual and owner’s manual. Find this Gran Canyon for sale here on Craigslist for $4,300 near Waxhaw, North Carolina.
