A £1K+ service isnt unheard of,Ive paid for one!.Parts can take months to arrive.I once bought a new 996,rode home 20miles,dropped off the paperwork and...wouldnt start,relay had gone.Broke down on a couple more occasions,once after taking it out of the van for a trackday.But other Ducatis Ive had have been faultless(almost).After selling a 888,had no intention of buying another Ducati.Suzuki GSXR converted me,fantastic machine.Service costs,parts arrive in days!,amazing.But...there was a 888 for sale locally,good price.Its now in my garage,there a hard habit to break. |
