first bike? or first street bike? ask if they have something to learn on.
Oh yea... And put some axle sliders on it first thing so you Have a better chance of keeping the nice Ohlins forks and the swing arm intact... Those things have saved my precious parts at the track during low sides and they only cost $50 or so.Make sure they give you the RED key with at least one black one. And there should be a code card as well. It should start and idle well. Check the regular stuff - brakes, tires, chain, sprocket, clutch etc.
If you do crash it can I have the ohlins stuff that doesnt get all destroyed:abduct:
I am sure he just needed an awesome forum member to point that out for him. Being brand new to the forum. Always good to have someone being helpful! :yeah:I'm not your mama, so I'm not going to spew crap about what you shouldn't buy. You're a grown man.

I found your post in the topic about the soldier wanting to buy an 999. Your post was very technical and helpfull. The bike comes with a 6 month guarantee from a Ducati authorized dealer. And when I was there the way he talked and went about things was very trust inspiring.There are quite a few threads in the past with 999 or 999s specific things to look for when buying. Use the search.

Fwiw if the bike starts easy and it idles well the engine will be in proper tune.
