The same guy has owned 2 different honda with no major problems with lots of miles on them. I worked on 3 different ducks on the side of the road in one weekend trip to the gap. Oh and we will not even mention the fact that during some parts of the year the parts are impossible to get cause they take a month off for holiday and it take them 3 or 4 months to get caught back up. Have seen several friends order stuff that had the holes drilled in completely different places (wind sheilds and farings) On both Monsters and the sportier models. The 748s were known to have crank(bolt backing out), Stator and clucth cover bolts backing out, cracking over flow bottle, rear brake over heat that ruin the seals and rocker flaking problems. Ducatis response to said issues was less than steller. I love the looks of Ducks but would never own one after the problems I have seen. And for any one to tout there engineering makes me laugh, though its more over the installation that seems to be the problem. Last edited by HRCNICK11; 01-30-2009 at 08:27 AM.. |

Nick, we've gone 'round and 'round about that topic. I'm OK with people not buying Ducati motorcycles or having their own opinion of them. ![]() These plastics look nice - and I'm sure for the street they are fine. In a more high-risk situation such as racing or constant track use I'd be more likely to go with fiberglass that I could easily repair myself rather than needing to buy another set. Tigger - find a vendor that does glass rather than plastic for me... you're good at finding deals ![]()
