Jan, I try to work, but more important stuff just keeps popping up and distracting me. It's a hard life ...

I know, I know, I should get a proper job, doing high-speed car chases and such, but where is the fun in that?

If your not selling for another 18 months then keep the 916 as over that period the R1's value will drop like a rock. I think the 916 might be at the bottom of its value already in terms of age (only condition and miles will lower it now). If anything they may end up going up in price again, although not in the next 18 months I would think.

I'd also say that if you think you could service the R1 yourself then you can easily service the 916.

i can't do belts, valves shims etc on the Ducati myself.. which is where the larger costs come into it...

i will only use the R1 for 8000 MAX miles in next 18 months... it's not going to need touching in 8000 miles...

Deal done, decision made... the Ducati is no longer...

Mate, you ask us and then ignore us, it's clear from the poll that we are only interested in doughnuts!

Jen.
