I think some people like the idea of Ducati ownership but decide fairly early on it's not for them. That's why you can get a fair smattering of nearly new dukes with little miles on them. Maybe that's what has happened here?

After all you are looking for a duke on a budget, not unlike many others, and maybe this one has just been through the hands of being affordable but not settling with one owner?

Course the other reason is it might just be a mare

Seriously though, if you have any doubts, see if you can get a local ducatisi, maybe a member from the DSC, to check it over with you?
