So I've had my 65 plate DVT multey for about 2 years now and apart from the known issues with the exhaust (which ducati sorted under warranty with no issues ) and the clutch slave which I replaced with an oberon unit its been lots of fun and never actually let me down. I got it with just over 1000 miles and its on almost 13000 now. not the prettiest bike ive owned but certainly the most versatile and power full. The only thing it dosen't do is look like a classic triumph and womble down country lanes with said triumphs wallowy vagueness but I have my 09 bonnie for that. I did test the Yamaha Niken a while ago and liked its sure footed ness and its sci fi looks however the toys on the ducati are better and I still love that big twin rumble
