Ducati has changed the scrapers in the 2013 models so not as much oil can pass the rings and burn.

Mine just smoked for the first time today, only has 550 miles on it, filled the whole garage up with a haze that it hasn't done before. It did it more as I reved the motor.... First time it's happened to me...

If almost 2 days counts as sitting for awhile then yes...

When I start mine up cold, if I let it idle for a couple of minutes, then when I blip the throttle, my bellows blue smoke,after she warms up , no smoke.

I think i read somewhere, that idleing is not good for it...

Mine smoked like a campfire the day I bought it(saturday 02/09/13). It's rained everyday and I haven't got the chance to take it out since. The dealer told me it was normal for the first start up and should go away after the coating in the engine and exhaust burns off. I'll let you guys know after I take her out again. Can't wait to install the Termi's!!!!!

Recently bought a 2013 and I haven't had smoke issues.

I posted already, but that was a while ago. 1000 miles and never smoked.
