What's wrong with the mileage? 14,000 is nicely run in. If it has a full service book then no worries. Ducati's work better when they are used often, it's the garage ornaments that develop the electrical and belt problems. If the bike is unused for long periods of time the belts develop a "memory" where they are round the pulleys and failure is likely.

Cant argue with that, only real problem is that the British sports bike buying public are obsessed with low mileage bikes and the resale values of any bike used properly can suffer as a result.  In a few years time with more mileage clocked up, it will be even more difficult to shift. I'd agree it looks a cracking bike, but I dont think its a bargain  :-S

Was getting a little bored with my ten,& this little beauty is a little different..,got my enthusiasm back she has..certainly not as quick,but she sure does handle,tho the squared off rear initially caused some concern..
I'm not gonna slag off my 06 ten cos' she suited/scared me at the time,but ive moved on & now gotta remove all my ten's goodies..so if anyone wants the following let us know
Full arrow system,titanium cans
PC3
GPR steering damper
Little used Galfer discs
ZX6r radial brake calipers
GIPro gear indicator
Renthal sprockets
Pazzo levers(shorty)
ETC
