I hope this is the right place to ask.

I'm thinking of moving from an SV650 to a Ducati. Always loved the look of the Supersports and test rode an SS1000 recently.

As the bike's my daily transport, what should I look out for in a second hand SS1000? Any technical things tend to go wrong? Reliability? Any useful mod's (e.g. Scottoiler, recommended crash mushrooms, etc)?

Any advice and experience would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

I just picked up a 1000ss twin spark, rode it tonight, belting bike, engines are bulletproof but the paint finish will flake off on the front if not looked after. Not a showstopper really since all you have to do is repaint it. Apart from that get one and enjoy-and welcome to the passion.
