Chaps, after tooling about on a loaner 1200 for a week or so, I've become quite attached to it. To the extent where I'm looking at buying a used mutley. I have one in mind - it's an '11 plate. I think it's an S something - electronic suspension and a carbon beak. It has a full service history but it has high miles. I'm happy lookng at a high mileage motor - probably preferable to one that's done very few miles. But it's the rest of the bike that I'm... not concerned about, but I guess I have no experience of the electickery. I have been offered a two year warranty, which I'll probably go for. For the 'ooh, shiny' side of me, it has a lovely termi full system, monoblock front and rear calipers, proper DP footpegs and loads of Rizoma bits. And heated grips. And it's black, so still no red Ducati for me :frown: Can I get the benefit of your experience of the chassis and electronics please? What to look for, what might be an issue. And is there a list of the recalls that should have been done on the bike? I'm buying from a Ducati dealer, so I guess I can just say 'do all the recalls please', but it's always good to know what they are. Thanks!
Check coolant has been changed, warranty job. Check rad for any cracks/seeping, check engine covers for peeling/lifting paint, DEFINATELY go for the 2 year warranty and enjoy it. I presume it's got a full Dealer service? Mines done 22000 miles now and no major things wrong that haven't been sorted out under/out of warranty by dealer.
Move up north Jerry, we could eat black pudding all day and stuff ferrets downs out pants. :biggrin: Got to be better than Chaz and Dave, Barbara Windsor and Jellied eels
Bit he'd have to sell all his toys and take a 90% pay cut....and downsize to a 5 bed country home ;-)
thanks Biot, much appreciated. All looks good: the bike is so clean. Carbon everywhere, Samco hoses, rad protector... Can't think of anything else to do to it! Phone pic: Oh, and Termi, ceramic coated pipes, carbon bellypan, mono blocks front and rear.
Looks like a cracking bike particularly with the 2 year warranty. The monobloc upgrade is someting that doesnt come cheap either £££ Would be really interested in your views on the level of upgrade it brings to the braking ,doesnt need to be much to be better than standard rear ! I have heard a few people on another site having done it saying it is well worth it ? But no one on here yet unless I have missed it.In any event I hope you enjoy the bike , good luck
