biggest problem with ducati's is that most of their owners dont use them and a fair few would not know one end of a spanner from another so rely on dealers. the thing that kills ducati's is the electrics but thats an easy sort and just requires you to go round all the connectors with contact grease. they are no more or no less reliable than any other bike out there.

personally i prefer the old air cooled ones as there is a loooot less to go wrong.
