1198 Can Anyone Help By Test Riding A Bike For Me?

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by Dirty Leeds, Nov 15, 2018.

  1. as above, I have an 1198 reserved in a shop, basically it has a 3 month warranty from purchase date, I cannot ride it for a while at least, so my concern is if/when I can I find a fault but it will be out of warranty and I am high and dry, I know who I trust on here there are usual posters etc with plenty of Ducati’s who I really would appreciate help from, obviously I would reward someone financially and would lob the bike in the van and drive it to whoever can help, the bike needs paying for first it’s been held on deposit until January but the plan is obviously sooner than that as weather will be proper shite, I’m just gauging if anyone might be able to help? If anything should go wrong I would not hold anyone responsible either so don’t worry about that, the bike will be insured also for the road and taxed everything will be above board.

    I am central Leeds based but as said can take it to anywhere within reason

  13. It is a full system mate but looks like it's got a lamda probe thread in the rear manifold. Looks a nice bike bud and yes it the same as mine.

  18. I don’t mind having to spend on it, ultimately I think the 1198 is one for the future in every way, I’m not into making money that isn’t my motivation but it’s a bonus to think I won’t lose if I sell it in a couple of years,it’s a 7000 mile 1198 in white one owner, wonder if the owner is on here?
     
  19. Hi Carl. great to hear you are getting back on a bike.
    The 1198 looks great. You can join Sam and me on our Spanish trip.
