Inflation is out of control

That SP is a turd. Saw that left over parts special with the not so left over price tag at COTA last year. ....... junk. That being said, if ya have to have a V4, get the R, commit to spending some $$ and get it how you like it.

I wouldn't kick it out of bed for farting but i get your point, it's a probably the most milquetoast attempt at the "ultimate track machine" out of Ducati in a while
 
Took these at COTA. Cheap cast triple, garbage OEM masters, dog .... hardware, and the cast components look Chinese. That’s north of 40k? ....... nuts.

To be fair Endo controlled fill casting is a major advance in motorcycle manufacturing and one reason why aftermarket guy go for machined parts is that CF casting is way too expensive, pretty sure Ducati still use "Ritter Vacural vacuum die-casting" for at least some of it components and the parts are light and strong.
 
To the degree which it matters...low volume parts aren't cast because its too expensive. No big secret there, but an off the showroom floor bike doesn't need WSBK quality stuff. It wouldn't make the manufacturer any money and no one would buy it.

No one serious about tracking a bike is buying a SP.

I’m working with Intech Trailers now on a build. All aluminum and they build anything you want. Doing a flat recessed pneumatic lift in the floor, flat panel air thanks in the floor space (no bulky compressor tank) Moduline Cabinets, full shop, nice bathroom and bedroom. Their build quality is amazing.

I was actually looking at one of their smaller toy hauler/camper options to fit my storage and budget needs. They make some interesting stuff.

As evidence by this SL’s appreciation, I bet it’ll retain its value or continue to appreciate better than any modified Ducati (apart from a Desmosedici)

Ok fanboy, The best, most innovative and sought after bikes, cars boats, planes and houses are ....... custom built. End of ....... discussion. If you don’t agree with that or you don’t like that it’s because you don’t have the means to obtain anything but a store bought bike. Done deal
 
Ducati did a fine job of ....... themselves with all their ridiculous limited this and limited that. Those bike aren’t worth .... when the owners try and sell them. There is a 1299SL for sale for 49k, they can’t ....... give it away.
