| Biking in 2000 is not a "cheap" pastime full stop, regardless of what two wheeled machine is your passion. Back in the late 60's when I got my first (4th or 5th "hand" Bantam) folks used to comment that motorcycling was a great and cheap way to get about. The great is still there, but cheap - that's long gone whatever you ride.
Cars are cheaper - 3yrs guarantee and servicing thrown in etc etc etc and better residuals generally.
The best we get is 2yrs guarantee but you still pay for servicing - some poor folks only get 1yr guarantee with their favourite brand of motorcycle.
So when you take "custody" of your Ducati just be sensible and realise that just like a mistres, the object of your desire is going to cost you - but - the emotional kickback will be worth it :-)))))) |
