Gergwheel1647545492 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 too many miles is basically too much fun, so thats not possible. However, it is kind of high for an 03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 21k miles for an 03 Ducati Monster 800 is too many miles. No way is that too many. Only 3k miles a year? The low mileage bikes scare me more than the high mileage ones. Low miles generally means it was sitting for at least one long stretch, maybe more. But as said above, everything depends on how well it was maintained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a Del Sol at the shop with 20K miles on it and it needs about 1K worth of work due to it sitting too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuckingham Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I would ask for service history and who did the service. Ducs arent bikes you can ride the piss out of with no maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyM3rC Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Run away! Everyone I know with a Ducati is working on it constantly, which leads to them never wanting to ride it. I don't have many Ducati friends though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 typical italian ticking time bomb 0, 10K, 100K miles...if there's one thing Italians are good at, it's fucking simple things up. This is what happened when they tried to get into the bicycle making business: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBsJ9mRrDMzz4P11-Ah9V2NqvKjHesh-kaIVe7yJoS2CINMHg&t=1&usg=__at0vwcynJglIdflRv5zlgWIb-zA= Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts.

35RFTW Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 21K is nothing. It is all in how you take care of it. A bike will last just as long as a car given it is taken care of and maintained. People just do not ride as much as they drive hence you do not see that many higher mileage bikes.

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I was at 14.5k on my bike before it got totaled and it was an 07. 12.3k miles were put on it within the year I owned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Run away! Everyone I know with a Ducati is working on it constantly, which leads to them never wanting to ride it. I don't have many Ducati friends though. My 999 is over five years old and I've put 27k miles on it. I've worn-out the clutch (dry clutch, not known for its longevity), had the oil changed every 3 thou, had the valves adjusted three times, replaced the chain, and put a number of sets of tires on it. Not exactly "working on it constantly." In August, 2005, I rode it 1,027 miles in 20 hours, 21 minutes in an Iron Butt ride ..... hardly something a fragile bike would endure. :gtfo: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/999.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you do your maintenance including valve check/shim, you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
