[gee_fin]

Hello all,

I have the opportunity of acquiring a Senna II 916 (1997 FSH) which I have to say has me tempted. However, I am complete virgin when it comes to Ducati's and I'm worried about going at it blind.

Can anyone offer any advice? e.g how to avoid a nail, how to ensure it's a good one and any potential future pitfalls? What are the servicing costs like, how easy is it to find a reputable service centre and when are the intervals?

My background so far has been purely Yamaha but having been a Ducati (and not to mention Senna) fan I am very tempted (even if recollection of Senna's superbike days seems to have slipped past me )

Thanks in advance,
Graeme.
