You really have to love Ducati's to own one , they are more expensive to buy and maintain in regards to both routine maintenance and unexpected reliability issues.Plus , the dealership network is small which usually means alot of traveling for service.
Just like everything else , people have thier opinions. Some say Ducati's are reliable , some say they aren't .
Personally , I have owned 2 Ducati's and these are my experiences:
2004 999 that blew up at 2400 miles but Ducati stood by me and made it right ..... gained a loyal customer
2005 999 that has been in the shop for a month for a base gasket leak,still waiting on parts.
Meanwhile , I have owned about 20 other bikes that were all Japanese and NEVER has one of them blown up or been in the shop for repairs.
I love my Ducati so I am dealing with the quirks but I can assure you they aren't for the faint of heart ......... they are like high maintenance women always demanding your time,money and attention.
Price check 2006 Ducati 749s
heck no!!! I just know a beautiful bike when I see one and was just wondering how much it was and if ducati has fixed it's maintenance woes. Apparently it hasn't and the jap bikes perform better anyway so I'll stick with my little gixxer 600. It is a beautiful bike though...
