I ended up buying a new Ducati for a few thousand more (went V2 w/ dealer-installed mods- Akra exhaust, NRC tail tidy, sliders, carbon fiber bits, etc.). I'm not sure why the market down here (south Florida) is so saturated with R1's, but that was also a concern of mine. I'm guessing because the used market is so good for resale right now- but there is NO WAY I was paying $15-16K for a used bike when I could get a new bike for a few thousand more. Sucks because I've owned and loved a few R1's over the years...Lovin the Ducati so far tho. Took it apart and put it back together just to see how much of a pain the ass it's going to be and it wasn't that bad. Pretty much the same as the R1 in terms of difficulty. Very distinct sound like the R1, too. Welp...guess this is goodbye/see ya later folks. Keep it shiny side up! I may be back with a new R1 soon, too.
