Got one of those in December - for whoever is looking, this is an amazing bike and a great price too. I have always been into sport bikes and at the very stretch sport touring and this bike is really bluffing me. Can be as comfortable or total hooligan as you want. Such fun in any circumstances without the aches of sport bikes. Good luck with the sale.
Thanks Phil, I completely agree with you, i been on GS1200's for a couple of years as good as they are and very capable machines, they lack soul. BUt due to the build quality and reliability i stuck with them, afraid of Ducati's notorious electrical issues. I had a client whose multi spent more time in the dealer's workshop than it did on the road, the last straw was breaking down in Central France, he PX'ed for, you guessed it, GS1250 This one is well sorted and been around Europe every summer since the previous chap's ownership. It really is amazing how it transforms from a daily commuter to a snarling beast within seconds. I believe i have priced it correctly, lots of NONE S model bikes without Ohlins etc are mid £6.5k
Fingers crossed that I won't have issues then, though I have not heard much on the MTS. I had some STs in the past, one that I did 40,000 m on with no issues whatsoever. Another one had an electric issue. On MTS I have only heard of the dash going on early ones but most were fixed under warranty or were from the good batch. I have seen a few with big mileage as well when looking. Re BMW, I have heard of head bearings going on the GS. I had a F800 ST for commuting and it really never let me down. It was arguably a much better bike for commuting (narrower, lot less powerful, etc) but God it was dull. I would just go to work on it. With a Ducati, I am looking forward to the ride! I would also argue about build quality. The sump was pealing like I have never seen a Ducati do, the fork stanchions had to be refurbished (lot worse any any Ducati I did considerable higher mile on), some of the fasteners made of plasticine. So, yes it was good on electrics and essentials, but I was not so impressed on the fasteners and paint. When you work on your bike, there is nothing the annoys me more than a bolt rounding off on me. In my experience the fastener quality on Ducati is superior to even BMW and Honda. The worst is probably Suzuki (from bikes I owned and worked on). More to the point on an MTS, it certainly has reignited a slightly wild side, which the BMW had dulled up. Glad to be back on a Duc This is great value for money. Paid more for mine in the middle of winter. For anybody interested, this is certainly a hell of a good value bike for the money. I am beating the lockdown blues by dreaming of riding mine to World Ducati Week in 2021 ;-)
Thanks Phil I agree with you on pretty much everything re the bolts/fasterners on BMW's, terrible quality. its sometimes luck of the draw with bikes/cars, some run perfectly, others can be a pain from day one. Anyway, another pic with side panniers on.
We haven’t set a date yet due to Covid 19, your all welcome to the reception afterwards. Small private affair.
Thanks Pete. That will ward away silly offers, or ‘what is yr lowest price’ I’m not desperate to sell, happy to keep it.
I’m surprised it hasn’t sold, it’s a good price IMO. Sorry @SP4S much as I’d love to I’ve no room in my shed
