Hi all, My name is Jay and I have just took ownership of a Ducati 1299 base model, early 2017 model with 3800 miles, not yet ridden it. I am new to Ducati's, I have had countless Jap IL4s but once I tried an Aprilia V2 I never looked back, I guess that is why I am here now. The Italian bikes seem to have so much more character and I love the V2 power delivery. I will be trawling the pages and racking your brains over the coming months, firstly with the mystic gold colour that belongs to the anniversary edition 1299. Hoping that this Ducati proves reliable and ownership is a good first experience for me. & I look forward to meeting you all, Jay.
Welcome. Be prepared for it to be very different to a JIL4. You’ll get used to it, and you’ll love it
Thanks, yes ! First time I had been there, didn't even know it existed, tucked right out the way. I was happy with the service I received and by all accounts from what I read they are a great dealership, I also got a years warranty which is comforting on such bike.
