It's tribal. Get used to it. Most of the comments are amazingly ill-informed rubbish which is regurgutated 3rd or 4th hand from magazines and the good old "mate of a mate".
You get the same nonsense about electrics, belts, cylinder studs, chain adjusters, servicing costs.... blah blah...blah. Even when you put a service bill in front of people, or show them the parts prices they refuse to believe you or acknowledge that they're wrong. The bit I find laughable is someone with a Gixxer saying how maintenance intensive the Ducatis often are when he has a 4k interval as opposed to a 6k interval on the Ducati.
Life is too short to argue with unarmed people - ride the bike and have fun. Better still, learn how to ride a Duke well and show them your number plate
