Its true we all want the latest toys and money available i will move up next year, however i will be gutted if the resale price of my R has dropped to a point where a 748\996 demands a higher price.

Time will out .... all the Ducati 'R' models depreciate to a level and then sit there with very little movement. This was part of my reasoning when I bought an 18 month old 749r 2004 homologation model. Initial owner has lost all the depreciation and hopefully I've bought it a price that will be stable for the short term.
