[Gaz 748]

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

Base - 12K
S - 14K
Tri - 16K

Now a FULL system would cost £1600 taking an S plus termi to £15600...i do not see ducati valuing the Tri premium at £400......so I guess its just a slip on for the Tri

Well I hope for the sake of those buying one it isn't but I see your point. Going down the "S" route means at least I can afford the bike and add to it as and when finances allow, since the extra £2K for the Tri is just that bit too much for me to manage. Hoping to sell my S4RS for a reasonable amount so that ought to help.
