I have been looking at purchasing a used 2023 Pike Peak with low mileage. However, I have noticed many units across the U.S. with very low mileage (2500 or less). While I can ignore the models with 15- 500 miles as Demo bikes, I am trying to understand why so many are being sold after 1 year of ownership. I did some checking, and insurance, at least for me, is not much more than my current sports bike. What are your thoughts?
 
People are idiots and spend money buying s—t the they don’t need or even want.
I bought mine in 22 and think the bike is fantastic. I don’t see myself getting rid of it for many years. I commute on it, have taken long cross country rides on it, have done 5-10 track days on it, and had zero problems.
 
Good to hear that. I checked in with Smokey, and he said the same thing.

My question
As a top YouTube host what are your thoughts on Ducati Pikes Peak (2023/2024) models. I am looking at used ones and curious why I am finding a lot of 2023 with about 2400 miles (Cycle Trader) & motohunt) being sold. Is there something that drives this or people trading in for the RS or Honda? Any insight you have would be helpful.

Smokeys Response:
As far as I know, there are no real issues with those bikes at those miles. The valve that's somewhat expensive is way later. A Pikes Peak is a beautiful and expensive motorcycle. Most people also buy it because it's a comfy corner-cutting machine, so it's not really a long touring bike if you ask me. The normal Multistrada or grand tour and adventure will have way more miles on them as the Pike Peaks ones. That's my opinion
