Picked this up last fall-- I'd been on a Duc 916 for many years before this one, and had a pretty hard-core attitude towards the technological goodies on the modern Ducs-- that lasted about a day. I can't believe how fast I am on the silly thing with the computers rounding off the rough edges.

Mamma mia.. That's hot.

Not really. It's more expensive/frequent than on a japanese bike to be sure, but not terrible, especially on the newer bikes.

Cam belts is the big one every 12-15k miles (used to be ~6k miles on the older bikes), but I do them myself so it's no biggie.

Thanks for all the nice comments, guys! I guess I should do more videos on the silly thing.

thats not to bad. my buddys aprilia is horrible. you have to replace cylinders and pistons every 10k or something like that. its very short time. you basically do a complete rebuild on it every year.
