Hi folks, I am planning on checking out a Ducati 1199R that is part of an estate sale and I want to know any specific parts to inspect for before going through with the purchase.

This is a 2013 Ducati 1199R with less than 4500 miles. It is a 1 owner bike. It is missing the OEM mirrors and kickstand - instead, it has a carbon fiber kickstand and bar end mirrors. Everything else is OEM. It comes with all the original paperwork (manual, keys, tools, etc) and carbon fiber goodies that replaces basically all fairings of the bike. The agreed upon price is 15K. It does not have a service history.

Thanks in advance.
 
Check the date codes on the sidewall of the tires and inspect the tires for wear. If you have a chain stretch gauge, it's something you can check without unbolting anything.

I suspect this was a street 1199R given that it has bar end mirrors. But, if you know the owner's name, look for any social media accounts and see what they have posted, and if any of that content pertains to the bike.
