I'm not trolling. I'm seriously asking. As I look for a used Multi, seeing them with super low mileage is common. A 2014 with 4500 miles, or a 2016 with 3000 miles. I'm seeing bikes 2-7 years old with under 10k miles seems about the norm. So what gives? They're made to rack up miles. Everyone who owns one seems to love it. Why do so many seem like they're not being ridden? I know if I asked on advrider (Not throwing shade at advrider, just a lot of brand loyal guys there) or some other forum, the answer I'd get is "LOL, because Ducatis are always broke down, lol!" But I know that doesn't explain it. Lots of owners who report no problems still have lower miles.
Now, I know some guys put big miles on. I'm not saying no one does. It just seems like if you took an average, a Multi of any given year would have less miles than a comparable GS or Super 10 etc. So why do you suppose that is? Is the type of person that is attracted to a Ducati less prone to heavy riding than a BMW owner? Is it the cost of maintaining a bike being ridden a lot? Is it the less rugged looks of the bike causing people to fear damaging it?
Anyone have a theory?
