Hello. I'm found a beautiful 1098S , 58 reg. 6000 miles and 1 owner. The asking price is 8990£. This will be my first Ducati and I would be very happy to get some tips and advice. Is the price ok? I'm 37 years old,are they expensive to insure? Can I expect an expensive service soon? Thank you for any inputs. BBJ
Hi BBJ, I bought my 1098 3yrs ago on an 08 plate with 3600 miles on the clock for £9200 from a dealer. In my opinion I would have said you were paying towards the top end for a 1098s but from what you have said it sounds like a good one so it's not an unrealistic price. Insurance is fine, I'm 33 and insured with MCE. Servicing all depends on who you get it done by. I have mine done at Riders Bridgwater and it can be expensive but there are plenty of Ducati specialists that would probably be more reasonable. Hope this helps.
