Problems: apparently, the bike had an engine failure and the ducati dealer has changed the pistons, cilinders and the cramshaft under warranty.
Is this a normal failure with such a low mileage?
What kind of driving can produce that?.
What kind of questions or things should I check in the bike to have peace of mind in the future?

The dealer says the engine now is even better than brand new from factory

He says fitting a 57mm termi system will burn the lower fairing and is very loud and tricky to fit...
Thanks for the help

Hi,

I have found a brand new 999R,model 2004
in Germany on www.motoscout24.de for
the price of 18500 EUR.
It is still for sale at this moment.
I think its a good price for anew one.
