Put 4500 miles on the 1199. Not a single issue
Stock exhaust or aftermarket? If the battery cable gets cooked and shorts to ground, it's going to make the bike run terrible, then die and catch fire.
Could also be a leak or chain goo. Won't know until the fairings off.
My experience with japanese bikes mirrors most Ducati/KTM/BMW experiences. The faster bikes have plenty of faults. Zx10r rod caps, GSXR1000 transmissions, impossible Honda CRF450x maintenance schedules etc. etc. If you want to see real pain, go to a jet ski forum. Those machines are under far greater loads than a bike, and the technical knowledge of those owners is far lower than most bike forums.
It's not fair to compare a pushed to the limit Superbike to a plain jain sportbike or a tractor like the Suzuki DRZ400s.

Everything is bone stock. Fire seems to have started underneath if that's any indication.

Just wondering why old Silverback is so anti Ducati? I had fewer issues with my 1199 than my 1299 too.

guess you could of let it burn to the ground and be done. I've had 3 ducks and never had any trouble. my 1st was an 888 and I think back how far they have come since then. I'm wearing my better half down for a 15 1299. cant wait

Wow, that escalated quickly

No not really. This guy "silverback" been at it from the start and don't stop
I understand everyone has different opinions but he is not making ANY contribution to the forum and just HATE.... I hope MODs ban him. Anyone say anything about Ducati on DUCATI FORUM, he will come back at you with hate...
He is acting like 3 year old and need to go back and play with his hayabusa low rider club forum.

constructive criticism is great. sharing real horror stories about the brand is beneficial to all.
i too have been critical of this bike and for good reason, but it is still my fave bike ever.....
but this 'Busa guy is trolling and hating on the pani in a pani forum = not the sharpest tool in the ol' shed..
