Mentioned to the service dept at the beginning of the month when my Rally was in for its first service that there was some degradation to the finish on the nose cone that was a wee bit unsightly. Examination conducted, chins stroked, Photos taken and sent off to Ducati. The nose cone is being replaced under warranty. No questions asked, no quibbling, no body swerving. To be fitted next week at my convenience. Good job. Five pointy noses out of five!
