Newbie here!
I have been offered a slightly damaged, low milage, 2009 Factory and wonder the general issues to look for.
It has had all its recalls i am told and it has only done a couple of thousand miles(its a friend of a friends bike.)
I hear that there was an issue with some models ODOclocks reseting so milages arent always accurate? That is the extent of my knowlege on the bikes
Can you guys give a brief overview on:
model updates (engines/power and torque)
models to avoid
Recall details
Expensive servicing milestones?
are the bikes reliable?
what goes wrong
I was looking at 999's before but heard about the belt change being ~£1200 through a ducati dealer and its put me off!
I love V twins(also race them) and v4s, and think this is just as good.
Cheers Oh Wise Forum Members, you're our only hope
