[QUOTE="JPKII, post: 16960938, member: 12867"] Agreed on with the comments on the Duc's. Maintenance interval on the Pani and Hyper is 15K miles now. My belief is since Audi took over, Ducati has raised their build quality considerably. The difference between my 2012 1199 and the 2023 V4 is very noticeable. Even rideability is much improved. The 1199 had many known issues with quality and rideability. But even the 1199 was a huge leap over my 916's. As much as I lust after another SPS, the thought of having to deal with that generation of bike pains me. Much better to buy and stick in the living room to stare at. lol. My Hyper, however, has several very annoying issues. This one I swallowed the red pill and am chalking this up to the "unique Ducati ownership experience". But I do all my own work on this one (the Pani goes in for a proper technician to maintain, not a garage hack like me). To me, that is part of motorcycle ownership. Taking shit apart, upgrading, and maintaining is one of the things I enjoy. So for the Hyper, I can tolerate its bullshit. I will be adding a Honda Africa Twin next spring. Have an itch for a bike that I can ride in the rain again with. That is oddly satisfying. lol. I may even try the DCT version. Even though that makes me puke in my mouth a tiny bit. [/QUOTE]
