No integrated blinkers in headlight...that was a Fake Post :rolleyes:

Dollar value....?.....from an R to an SL....i see a bargain here...

just a quick run down without full awareness:

35k for the R

add:

Carbon wheels - 8k ?
Carbon frame - 8k ?
Carbon fairings - 8k ?
Carbon subframe - 8k ?
Race exhaust - 8k ?

that ends at 75....add on a few dollars for what i may have underpriced or for what may get "overpriced" at factory prices and we are at 80

I'd have to say that those numbers a bit off. I paid under $3k for BST's and that's at consumer level. I can also get full carbon fiber fairings for around $1000.
 
Yep. Empower yourself folks. Don't buy into the "you can't do that" club. There are some great builders out there, many on this board.

..yes...of course....there is always a way to approach it differently....i'd never dispute that...have fun and good luck....while you're working things out i'd hope to be burning off tires.....and in the end....you ride "that"...and i'd ride "the factory item"

numbers being numbers.....for my rational, you get what you pay for....even if sometimes you wish you didn't :rolleyes:

for the record: you realize we are talking about apples and oranges....your aftermarket versus factory items
 
I sure do understand the difference between aftermarket and factory parts. Aftermarket, I get the quality pieces from Ohlins, Brembo etc not the dog .... that is on even the entry level bikes. Even the "factory" race teams don't use the "factory crap". I fully understand that Ducati charges the same for an OEM cast master cylinders that OPP charges for the billet GP version. I really do get it. I understand that the dog .... radiator that doesn't even allow you to change the front plug without removing it or destroying it is way more expensive through Ducati than a MAC or H2O. Thanks for pointing that out. Also, Lets see your odometer. Bet you the next run of shirts I ride what I build a hell of a lot more than you ride what you bought.
 
You realize they're both BST's....right?

yes...yes i do...if they are they are.....we can shred this ad nauseum - your tomatoes for delmonte and heinz probably come from the same place too - its all how its packaged, presented...and eventually eaten :D

"of course" you can buy better parts and build bikes (not better just because u bolt on parts) haven't we "discussed" this before
 
last 12 months have been about 7.2k miles. On my 3rd set of Diablo Rosso III tires. Call Ducati NB and ask them. They put them on.
 
Oh your right. I would rather have the "qualified" Ducati mechanics put it together. You know, the same mechanics that assembled all the fasteners that have fallen off all these bikes and were responsible for sealing and the torque specs on all of the leaking covers. While I look at a motor approaching 13k miles that has never spilled a drop of oil or water. Those guys? Your win again.

Tell us how you really feel
 
I just did. The assembly and prep of these bikes sucks .... It just come un-assembled. The buyer isn't going to do any worse in putting it together. Let's not even get started on the complete lack of engineering in the maintenance dynamics. What a horror show. Remember the old Pontiac Fierro that you had to pull a motor mount and jack up the engine to change plugs? This ain't far off.
 
Again ask any one of the guys on this board who has assembled and maintains their own bikes if they would trade it for a Factory assembled, dealer prepped turd and see how many takers you get. There is a reason they tell you to check all the nuts and bolts and look for water and oil leaks after you take delivery. Your going to need to. It can be quite a bike in the right company. I absolutely love my 1299 but I would never buy one off the floor.
