Thinking Of Retirement From Biking

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Sprocker, Aug 30, 2025 at 10:35 PM.

  1. I'm hardly using it anymore. One trip to France and one day trip this year. Same as last year. I've just lost interest, so I'm selling up. I'm looking for a rough guide to what to price it at please.

    2018 Multi 1260S including panniers, topbox and tank case on a quick release ring.
    Oz Gass wheels with upgraded front Brembo discs.
    Termi short endcan
    De-catted collector box, and remapped to suit. (Sounds fab)
    Evotech rad guards
    Denali air horn
    18k ish miles
    Belts done last year
    Gold chain and new sprockets changed when I fitted the Oz wheels.
    I'll do a proper forsale thread when I get an idea of price.
    Other extras I can't remember but will make a full list. Original wheels, exhaust box and cans will also be included.
    Bike in excellent condition.
    See profile photo for now, but will add others when I list it.

    Thanks for any ideas on price.

  2. I’d swap out the OZ wheels and sell them separately, they don’t add the same value if left on the bike. Andy

  3. Depending on the year Maybe £7 or 8,000
     
  4. 2018. I thought id edited this last night :upyeah:
     
  5. Even with the Oz wheels left on ?
     
  6. Take the wheels off and then I’d say put it up for £8500. It’s a tough market out there at the minute.

  7. You rarely recover the value of parts that are perceived as bling. The 1260S already had lightweight forged wheels. Andy

  8. The bike in the pictures is a base model, not the S described in the blurb. It also has a part history which probably means no evidence of the valve shim service. I’m not surprised no-one is interested. Andy
     
  9. The shim service is due on mine. Would it be better to get that done first or make an allowance on the price ?
     
  10. The £1500 question, pun intended. If you have someone like our own @nelly (Cornerspeed) who is a Ducati authorised service centre or an independent who you trust and the spare cash, having it done does enhance the bike’s appeal. My feeling is, if you don’t have it done, a buyer is likely to try and haggle regardless of it being factored into the asking price because of the perceived inconvenience. If it were me, I’d get it done. Andy

  11. agree with Andy, although it wouldn't affect me, it seems the average buying punter is more attracted to a bike that's "good to go" despite price being slightly higher.

  12. Get the shims done before sale IMO.

  13. Very interested in the wheels if you decide to sell separately :thinkingface::upyeah:
