Re: reliability concerns

I've had two excellent parts situations with Ducati in the past three weeks. First, I ordered an 06 windscreen for my 04 bike and it arrived in three business days just like the parts guy promised me. I was floored. Then he had to order an exhaust gasket for my Termi slip ons (it's an OEM part) when ...

Re: Can't believe the height

5'7" and a 30" inseam and it's fine - yes, I'd prefer an inch lower - but never had an issue with it - you'll get used to it and once it's moving and your feet are on the pegs you'll forget it's "too tall" for you -

Re: reliability concerns

I own a Suzuki GSXR 1000 and the MTS - true you can ride the Japanese bike w/o worry - and when things do go wrong, yes, the parts arrive usually within days - but, the MST is a joy - and the realability issue is not a problem or at least has not been one for me, and I've owned 8 Ducati's and never ...

Re: Anybody seen a 2005 "s" model

Saw a black one at the International Show in Seattle - the Ducati rep said they will be in very short supply with only about 10 coming to the entire northwest region of the US - for the extra cost I'll take mine any day- I seriously doubt it will me to do anything with the bike I can't do already ...

Re: Advice please for a U.S. want-to-be

if you can buy that bike for 8K it's a steal - that is if you could actually verify the mileage and be certain of the condition of the bike - that bike right now in dealers showroom would sell easily for over 10K - True, it's nearly winter and prices will be softer due to that- contact the seller ...
