Looking at buying my first Ducati. It’s a 2014 1199 S with 13,764 miles. Asking price is $14900
what should I look for or keep an eye out for when I test drive it?
what are common issues / problems with this bike?
I have been riding since i was 16 and I’m 51 now. Fastest bike I have owned was a 2005 Kawasaki ZX10R and I currently ride a Kawasaki 636. I raced for a few years so I’m not worried about being able to handle he power, I just don’t want to buy someone else’s problems. I’m a mechanic and have always done all my own work so not worried about having to do valve adjusts, etc.
‘’Thanks for any advice you can offer. I will attach some pics. I believe it might have been down as it seems to be part matte black color scheme and part red.
