Hi Folks, Just wanted to say hello to this Duc community. I have been dreaming of riding one of those Ducatis since I turned 18. Once I had my license I went to our local dealer (it was last century) and it was a big disappointment, with 1,91m I was too big for those beautiful bikes at that time. A few years back I went for another test ride to a Duc dealer, this time it was a La Strada Pikes Peak and this time size was not an issue and the power was incredible, a few weeks later I got my first Ducati. I loved to ride the bike and did quite some modifications to it (e.g. exhaust, clean tail, etc.) however it didn't take long and the problems started: failing rear brake, failing ABS, failing fuel sensor and all of that with less than 3000km. At a certain moment I was fed up with it and sold it and got myself a new BMW R1200 LC Adventure and until now (about 5000KM) no issue at all... However two weeks ago I got the opportunity to see a 2008 Desmosedici RR (No.1225 with 2575 km on the clock and only one owner) at a dealer which was for sale... I tested the size of the bike and could not resist, now I will have to wait for another week until it has got new tyres and a full service before I can pick it up and enjoy it... Cheers, HF
Nice introductory story! Welcome Just for the record, bins within the picture of your bike are mandatory around here... Lets see some in the desmo photos when you get it
Hey, if you want great service I can recommend either Claus Carstens at Ducati Schleswig-Holstein (a little far from you) or Frank Weber at Ducati Bad Berleburg!
