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.

Yes you are and at £1600 + VAT for the Termis were you to buy them separately, plus the paintjob (which is a love it or loathe it affair) it's not a bad deal. Still going for the "S" though, with some 916 stylee paintwork and pinstriping to the tail unit and nose cone, since the Tricolore design is a bit of an eyesore IMHO.

You sure about that UKRR. If so £4000 more than the base model doesnt seem such a bargain. I noticed on the Ducati website that you can just buy the end cans and a new ECU, so perhaps this is what is on the bike. Does that then mean if the OE pipes are still on it that so are the inpipe CATS. If so you would have to shell out another grand for the downpipes. The "S" starts to look a much more sensible option IMHO

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?
