so i have been out of work with my broken wrist....lots of time to surf the web and find my next bike.
lookin at an 03 leftover 954 8300otd. 2900/yr ins
04 leftover gsxr750 8500otd 2600/yr ins
04 ducati dark asking 11500, 1200/yr ins????

whats the deal. the insurance break brings it into a feasible price range. i figured ducs would be higher insurence. any input?

 

Ducati bikes in general are less expensive because more mature riders buy them. Also, they are not involved in as many accidents as other "mainstream" bikes would be.

This is why they are less expensive to insure.

 

the new ones have chipped keys so they are harder to steal, and the parts market isnt that high

 

Don't forget to factor in other costs-of-ownership, the largest being required maintenance.

My friend just paid $900 for his 12k service.

 

i've heard to expect 1500 for all services up to and including the 12k. this not including tires, but all bikes need tread ya know
