i am thinkin of changin to a ducati, but if one more person tells me they are unreliable i might start to belive it,
if this is the case why do people buy them,
if someone made a boat that almost floated they would soon be out of business, do I buy one give me 3 good reasons .

What bike do you have at the moment?

I have heard of people over on VD having regular problems with their 749s but I'm sure there are as many people whose bikes have been faultless.

I've heard nothing but goodness about Duke's...

Search Klause's posts on here, he makes big servicing look easy on his Monster.

the only bike i have seen broken down at my local bike meet when everyone else is heading off home, was a ducati

possibly a 749, im not sure

do not be tempted to use panniers on the back of a single seat sportsbike ducati while touring scotland as the rear sub frame may break

logically, it would be up to you decide, evaluate the pro's and cons, and see if your still considering it, then pop to the showroom and have a look, research on net etc,,

there are endless ways of answering your question, but knock yourself out, and be sensible on it, don't end up like some of the tits on here, oh, and avoid the 2007 BCF spill counter.... Rolling Eyes

thanks for the link

i dont think they are any more expensive to buy,

it is the fact they the average biker tends to look down on the owners of ducati as if they were just playing at the bike game.
it seems that ducati owners have more than one bike and dont use the ducati as there first bike ,
I would want to ride it,
it seems like they dont ride them to much incase they break,

If you had a Ferrari, would you drive it everyday?

Last ducati i heard of going was a 748 that dropped a valve and lunched the motor. The newer ones tend to be much better though. A Full Ducati Service History is a must though.
