make sure you do the cam belts if you get one, dont take the owners word that they have been done.
What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve

love the sound of a ducati with a dry clutch, make sure it has full service history by a dealer and dont expect it to be nice to ride in towns ahah |

All I know about road going Ducatis is that on EVERY track day I did where there were Ducatis they always broke down. |

For the price and the maintenance of the ducati, I would opt for the newest Yamaha R1 I could afford. ease of maintenance and much more comfy to ride and does not break. but this is just my 2 cents. |

I picked up one of these earlier this week. Maybe not as cool as a Cat, but not a boring CBR

When they where building the 916, Ducati used honda electric's. So not many problems there and if you do have any, honda parts are cheap as chips secondhand. |

Well i must say that i had allot off bikes... started on my 15th with a honda cross... then bought a mz 251 and so on but dad was a chopper guy so i became a chopper guy... hondas suzukis harleys... 2 years ago i bought a suzuki 500 from 1980 a cafe racer. . The most fun i had in years... but not reliable. .. so now want to stay on the speedy bikes but do want a reliable bike this time! That daytona looks really nice bike 2... special edition?

I loved on my daytona 600 averaged 13000 happy miles a year. As for the Ducati when a friend switched from Duc to a Yamaha be dragged me outside and proudly showed me how easy It was to check his oil and change his oil filter. I explained that all bikes were this easy to check with the exception of his Ducati and I asked why he put up with it for so long. Welcome to the modern world I said, and left him there looking as dumb as he sounded. Own the day

Ducatis used to own in the superbike's back in their day in the hands of Foggy, taking me back to my childhood! On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Interestingly all the reviews say the engine is average. I followed on on my thundercat and it looked and sounded amazing. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

only thing that bothers mee is that there are allot of peiple here that say they are crap with electric and so on... prices do confirm a bit that they will be worse than my harley... i can easily find one between 6 months to 2 years old for 3500 up to 7000euro... for a 12000 15000euro bike... of course rumours can be rumours. ..
