Ducati changed the 848 to the evo in 2010 I think? Odds are it shouldn't need much if the mileage is not too bad. Tires are an easy one to spot and aren't really that expensive, even for the good ones. Don't let internet people rain on your parade, if you got the bike you wanted enjoy it and don't worry about other's opinions. Those who purchase a premium product do so for various reasons. Sure there are cheaper bikes to run and if have one that you like, good for you. There are others who appreciate the engineering and history that go into Ducatis and are willing to pay to ride them.
Hey thanks man! I am taking to my mechanic tomorrow after I go to service ontario to register and insure and probably a ducati dealership if it needs anything.
He had brand new pirelli tires (stock) on there he said he got all stock parts for the bike whenever it needed anything.
I don't mind the price for maintenance, the bike, etc. it was either a bmw or a ducati for me. I am glad I got the ducati, either way new or used I am sure the maintenance wouldn't have been cheap. Time to find out soon how much work needs to be done if any!
