Do you think this is a decent deal on a 2008? - Ducati.ms

I've been lusting after a hypermotard for awhile, and while I am currently looking to buy a 2009 R6 in the next week or so, I found a hypermotard for sale at GP bikes that looks interesting.

What do you guys think? is 2,000km on this motor just before a major maintenance schedule or something?

You know it's not an "S" model, right? Looks nice though.

is there much difference between the 2 that would make that much of a difference?

The main thing is the wheels (lighter) and the shocks are better. You also get some carbon fiber stuff.

Click on the lower picture in your link, you can see the difference. I think the front brake is better on the "S" too, but I'm not positive.

I just picked up a bank repo 08 Hyper "S" with 3600 miles, 6 yr extended warrenty, helmut, jacket, gloves for $10,000. I know thats not normal but deals are out there cause of the economy, at least in the US. You just have to be patient and wait for the right one.

There's several used ones on Craigslist too. Some have very nice goodies too.

Lets see if this works. http://www.searchallcraigs.com/resul...tard&sa=Search

MotoCorsa in Portland Or just purchased all the demo bikes form last year's Hypermotard truck. They have 8 standard models and 2 "S" models. I have a deposit on e one of them and my buddy has a deposit on one of the "S"s. The standards are $8995 with about 2500-3000 miles and are being sold as new so you would receive the free maintenance and the full 2 year warranty.
The bikes look nearly new with the only signs of use being the tires and brakes. If you are looking for a good deal on a slightly used/new Hyper it might be worth a look.
MotoCorsa is also throwing in a dinner with Michael Lock of DNA, Speedymoto frame sliders, and a chance to win a trip to Italy in their Progetto 51. Progetto 51 is a promotion where MotoCorsa is trying to beat their own record of 50 bikes sold in one month.

Well you can do a lot of research, but her are some observations after seeing a lot of posts. Generally speaking the S model suspension has not proved to be that much better than the standard model (both could use some help) and the front brakes on the S seem to have more complaints.

Either way, you will be happy just work a deal and your good to go.

Out!

Is the free maintenance you mention a standard thing with new bikes? I seem to remember my dealer trying to sell me a prepaid plan.
