My nephew married a Norwegian girl, lives in Oslo and now has four daughters all under the of six. Poor sod. He can't get a word in edgewise. No wonder he now spends a lot of time at the office
HK is a place of ' face '....everyone wants the best and the best costs big time....I was continually amazed at the amount of supercars in HK...i.e Zonda's, Lambo's, S Vanquish....common as muck out there....there are some seriously wonga'd people out there...
Yes I know but I was told by some wealthy Hong Kong residents in April that people buy cars that are six months old to avoid the tax implications. Is that not the case then?
why didnt you come to the UK to buy one? would of saved you £13k even with the boat ticket and lodgings.
Not really, given that the mts 1200 is probably the most common Ducati it's bound to have lost of posts, and most of the help my mts has..... posts are as I said mostly waranty jobs.
I take the view that, if Ducati were to launch a version of the Multi tomorrow with more low-down torque and semi-active Ohlins, I'd buy one like a shot. As that's exactly what my one-owner (me) '10 has, I'll hang on to it, thanks. Going to spend a bit on repainting the engine cases and just go out and ride the thing.
Yeah did that in 2005 on a 999S from Wolverhampton,By the time I paid all taxes the price came to over £20,000 on a second hand bike one year old :-( lol you pay tax on HP,cylinders,cc and curb weight +++ but all that put aside it's a great place to live and ride a bike

Can relate to this , that's why I replaced my DVT with an MT10SP , 17K was just too much for me , considering its virtually the same bike as the 2015
Another June 2010 here and still a fabulous ride. Lots of warranty work early days including heads and engine casings but now in it's element and the engine is very lively (sorry but compared to the DVT it's a hoot!). Having kept it so long the depreciation and I think I've had good value for money. Maybe we need to avoid always buying next year's colours? Buy the 2nd hand bargains instead. That will soon start driving the good deals on new bikes as dealers struggle to move new stock and maybe curtail some of the annual increases. These bikes are durable if looked after, but probably not good to ride through the Winter; mine hibernates.
The '17 DVT is a huge improvement: it ALMOST matches the 2010 for responsiveness. So why change? Mine didn't need the heads doing, but did suffer an internal collapse of the radiator - goodwilled last year by DUK. OTOH I ride mine year-round in Scotland, which clearly doesn't agree with it: both side engine cases and the swing arm need repainting.
You are blessed with some fantastic (empty) roads but maybe a Winter hack to brave the elements. I'll have to try another DVT with the cat removed Peter, Yes I know it will be RED but you know what I mean.
Cause if I'd kept my first Multi, it would have about 70000 plus miles on it by now, but also, and only IMO you understand, the DVT looks way better, has better suspension, much better switchgear and dash, is easier to ride fast, has a much more tractable engine, and oh, did I mention it looks better.....
Yes, all of that ... plus better lights, better brakes, cruise control, and a lot more. The DVT is a whole generation further forward.
