I have decided to upgrade to a Panigale, coming off Yamaha. I have found a very good looking 2016 Panigale 1299S which is the bike I currently was looking for, being sold near me. Not a lot of Panigales are available where I live. This particular one has 26.000 miles on the clock. The owner...

Hi Gang, I'm going to look at a 2006 749 Dark tomorrow. The original owner is selling it. Has all 3 keys and has done oil changes, tires and brakes. The thing that concerns me is he never did the valve/belt services and the bike has 15000 miles on it. Thoughts on that? Anything...

I owned a Superbike 999 for several years and LOVED it. Had to sell it to finance a move and I'm in the market for a new red headed mistress. I'm looking at a new (but might be pursuaded to look recently used if you guys think there's another option I should consider) 959 or V4 base. The V4 is...

Gidday :) Back in the day my dream bike was a 748S "¦ now I can afford one "¦ I heard that they're helluva uncomfy plus I'm applying Jeremy Clarkson's rule of never buy your dream car - it will never live up to your childhood expectations. So I bought a Monster S4R last year and love it! :)...

Question to the fellow expert Ducati owners. I am considering purchasing an 2014 - 1199R from a private party (original owner) with 5,000 miles on it. My question(s) are the following: -Would you (or have you) purchase a used bike from a private party? -What are the max miles that...

Hi all, I think I have to replace my chain on my Diavel but I'm wondering if you have to do the sprockets at 27000km is it the same like a bicycle for chain and sprocket at the same time? If so does anyone have any good websites they buy off besides eBay and Amazon? Sent from my SM-G903W...

The bike gets HOT in traffic, especially in the excruciatingly slow Bombay traffic. The hot and humid weather doesn't help either, bike was running 104*c after a bit. The pegs are REALLY slippery... Have ordered rearsets, but gosh, I didn't realize they would be this bad. The clutch...

Hi guys, I've just sold my 999s and want to try out a Panigale. Well, I dont have the money to buy a clean one at this time, so I'm looking into a rebuilding a Salvage one. But wanted to ask for help from the 899 owners who actually KNOW these bikes and would be able to spot the damages...

Guys, I made the big mistake of going to my local Ducati dealer and checking out the Panigale R. The bike is just gorgeous. The dealer has offered me a nice deal but it means trading in my 2014 Panigale S which I bought and taking a loss since I bought it in Jan. Has anyone on this forum...
