I've never had any issues with oil leaks, failures or anything other than routine servicing and cambelt replacements .
Early models used to have problems with the starter clutches, but I'm assuming they sorted this out on the later models.
Get a quote on the servicing costs and only use genuine parts if you want to carry out additional oil changes in between scheduled services.
I use John Hackett (JHP) in Coventry for my maintenance. The nearest decent dealer to you I would recommend Moto Rapido. Great guys in their parts dept
Had a 2013 Multistrada.
Nice engine when in its stride, but lumpy and annoying in traffic.
Had it just over a year, did a Eurotour on it, no problems at all, but decided that adventure bikes were not my 'thing'.
The new V4s are supposed to be much better in low speed smoothness, although some people just buy the Ducatis for the V twin lumpy character.
I had a 748 recently , beautiful to look at . I will say no more.
Hcw's , still going strong
It's Italian, you will love it and hate it in equal measure.
I miss my SS, there's just something quite special about a Ducati, but I'm a glutton for punishment, I drive an Alfa too![]()

Has a go on one a few years back and it was the most uncomfortable bike i had ever ridden , having said that a 6` 2" 17 stone rider is probably not who it was designed for.
If i got one it would be put in the dining room and not in the garage as it was a stunning looking machine , even in yellow.

Take the pieces and build them skywards !
I test rode an 851 a few years back from the dealer.
It broke down when it started raining...
