What are the general opinions on Ducati’s? 1. they rule. the scrambler is their coolest bike outside of the hypermotard imho 2. that depends on what shape the bike is in. photos would help greatly. you’re several thousand miles away from needing a first major service which is good, but how do you feel about the owner? did they do the first oil change at 1000mi or whatever ducati recommends? 3. first major service (desmo) bills 4.5hr at the dealership I believe. at least that’s what I am pretty sure I was quoted when I was looking at multis before I bought my SAR, so multiply that by whatever your local dealer bills and you can have a rough estimate of what you’ll pay for a major service if you do not do your own work. the youtube university can teach you everything you need to know for the major service if you own a service manual and have turned a wrench a few times in your life 4. show us some photos. any extraneous electrical poo poo and I would not touch it with a ten foot pole. nothing is worse than seeing some fog lights and then getting errors later on when the dipshit PO used a scotchlock to power them 5. I do not find cafe racers particularly comfortable and I am not old. do you like the cafe racer position? if so then you’ll enjoy it. it’s not horrible, just not my preference 6. some ducati dealers do demo weekends. I can almost guarantee they’ll have a demo scrambler. a regular scrambler will obviously feel different due to your handlebar position, but the seat height and general feel should let you know if you actually dig it that’s a lot of personal questions. really, I’d just sit on one and see if you like it. find a dealer doing demos, and if you enjoy it, you can always buy a tipped over one some other time, but photos of the bike you’re interested in would help a lot

MasterOSkillio posted:This is pretty good advice, I think I will contact the dealership that is close to me and see if I can setup a ride in the very near future. yeah even if they're not doing demos I'm sure they'll let ya swing a leg over one. pretty sure they're their best selling model (the scrambler, not the cafe subtype) so they ought to have one on the floor if they're not stupid if you like how it feels sitting on it I can almost guarantee you'll love how it rides. you obviously know that v twins rule so I think chances are good you'd love a scrambler since they are far cooler than any suzuki just get a feel for the owner of the downed bike and if he doesn't seem like a dipshit then you'll probably be fine. it's hard to truly gently caress up a bike in 2000mi
