So we can safely kill off that old canard Ducati came out with about the 999 being "cheaper and easier to service" than the old superbikes, then?

All that translated to for me was "We've moved the battery".

i've just looked at the service receipt for my SP2.This has K@N filters,PC3 plus Harriss high rise pipes. I had a 12000 mile service done at Whitehouse M/cycles, at Swanley. The Itemised bill came to £150.15p.I bought a Ducati 996R from a person in this Club, and He had the bike MOT'D PLus a 12000 mile ducati service.That bill ( which was unitemised) came to £790.90.The mileage on the Duc was approx 3400 mles at service and the SP2 was 11,982 miles.So ,do we have two homologation specials that are so different in their construction that the servicing costs are poles apart?

Are Whitehouse Motorcycles an authorised Ducati Service centre?

I don't think they are so we have no way of knowing if they serviced the bike to the official Ducati schedule.
