No, normal hose will weep/sweat.

Either buy proper stuff by the cm or alternatively I seem to recall either the 848 or 999 had a really long hose to the rear brake reservoir and it worked out cheaper to buy the ducati part than aftermarket hose.

I'm sure someone with a proper answer will be along shortly....

As Paul (P) says buy the proper stuff, quite a few places selling it these days either in standard Black or the coloured hose that places like Harris Performance sell
