Me and my mates discussed this today. Is the Desmosedici an investment opportunity or will it loose value quicker than a Jaguar XJ220

I know a guy who tends to order the latest greatest Ferrari every 18 to 24 months or so and seems to sell his existing Ferrari to someone on the waiting list for what he paid for it.

A good friend bought a Porsche 996 carrera 4 sport, ran it for 1 year and sold it back to the dealer for £3k less than he paid for it ... that's better value than a mondeo or vectra Euro box.

Could you do the same with a Desmo' ... run it for 12 to 18 months and sell it for the same, or more, than you paid for it

There are obviously a few wealthy individuals in the DSC and I wondered if any Desmosedeici's would end up in the hands of genuine Ducati enthusiasts, rather than on display in the front rooms of rich playboys, or in their garages next to the Ferrari.....

I've given it a few moments thought myself (er...not that I'm at all wealthy!) but it would mean selling all 3 of my current machines and another £10-15k on top of that...so not that realistic, in truth.

Still.......
