Talking of 888 appreciation...
I took my bog-standard factory-fresh Strada for a rare run out today, and called at my local Ducati dealers (M&S @ Durham). Asked the sales guy about the possibility of me putting my bike on sale in his (very large) showroom. "No chance", says he, "there's no room!"
When I pointed out that the bike was a bit 'hard to find' these days, and that it might even attract customers to his premises, he pulled out his price guide. "Book price between £1850 and £3250. What do you want for it?"
Needless to say, I left pretty quickly. Shortly after having told him to tear up the book.
(NB. I'd refused an offer of £5000 for this bike during the summer! Finger on the pulse or wot?)
