Hey guys! after 5 years off, I'm getting back on 2 wheels. Rode a 600RR and a 1977 Ironhead. Always been a fan of the Ducati, but I'm getting a TON of different information. Looking at a few options, but most fall within the following parameters: 2008-2011, less than 10k miles, not heavily modded, California only (hear its a pain or impossible to buy from another state).
I've been hearing Ducs are a money pit, then heard the newer (2010+) bikes are better, heard they have transmission issues, some love them, some hate them... :ahhh:
I'm seriously considering just going with an R6 at this point. Any input would be much appreciated!
If I do end up going the 848 route, anything to watch for? I know there is a recommended service at 7,500 miles.
If there's a sticky thread for this, let me know and I'll save you the typing time.
Thanks in advance!
