| I sympathise a little, especially if you weren't aware of the servicing requirements of your new bike at the time you bought it. There again, didn't you know what to expect? Ducatis are not Japanese bikes and cannot be thought of as such. The rules are different.
My 999S is twelve months old now - by chance, it's covered the 6K miles as well, but I knew when I bought it that it has different requirements to the rank and file.
I suppose the answer is to find out what you are in for before you pay your cash. The fact that a Ducati's total cost of ownership is, at least in the first few years, likely to be more than an equivalent Kwack or a Suz is something I accept as the cost of owning something special.
Now, had my Dukes proved proved to be unreliable - that's a different matter. But I'm happy to pay the extra to keep them reliable, cos I knew the score right at the start. |
