Hey guys! I have been off two wheels for about six years and finally realised an ambition of owning and riding a Ducati. Had a couple of R1s in the past and before that a T595. I started to get the urge a couple of months back and finally decided that an 1198s in my local dealer was the one to go for.

I too am going to be getting up to speed on all things over the next few months. Anyone got any experience with Ducati Sheffield? Reliable and trustworthy as far as getting servicing and mods done?

Good to be here

Not heard anything about Ducati Sheffield one way or the other, but Ducati John in Leeds and Italia Moto in Lincoln get good reviews
