Ducatis are reliable marc I had an 97 916 sold it with 20,000 on the clock never had a prob with it it was ridden rain or shine.
My current duke has all but got 10,000 miles on her and apart from a faulty jap chain that broke within 6 months and smashed a hole in the crank case, she has run so sweet. all they need is a bit of TLC and they treat you right.
Ps they are like women but with Ducati's you can ride them as hard as you like and they don't complain.
