i agree with ducati's costing to much but if the cost of the bike doesn't get the required up keep for it will. these bikes take a big hit on the wallet when it comes to the up keep. 1000mile need valve adjustments and much more. i would research that a little more ir i were you. and being a new motor you know it going to more exspensive and more often. just my i love ducati styling just the up keep is a bitch.
