What makes them so expensive ?

Is it just the " Ducati " badge on the tank ?

Still want one

an R1 with brembos, marchsinis (sp) and ohlins cost £14k, so seems fair

Ahhh...well. That's still me lost to them as a returning customer. The days of me spending £14k on a Ducati and then having to suffer savage depreciation are over. I am neither stupid or willing any longer. Their loss.

Look at the us/canada prices!!
Sadly it's this country, which is why we are checing out in the near future.

Give it two years then buy a second-hand one with all the kit on it.

Am I right in thinking the extra for the Tricolore gets you the 70mm full system? If so, an extra 2k would make this a bit of a bargain.

Good ... the rest of us who choose to stay won't miss you.

Are you sure that your new land of choice will be perfect for everything?

Pieman
Firstly, you aren't speaking for "the rest of us who choose to stay".

Secondly, was there any call for that remark?
