Welcome mate.

I think the Strada PP is a great looking thing, shame to hear you had problems.

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to say hello to this Duc community.

I have been dreaming of riding one of those Ducatis since I turned 18.

Once I had my license I went to our local dealer (it was last century) and it was a big disappointment, with 1,91m I was too big for those beautiful bikes at that time.

A few years back I went for another test ride to a Duc dealer, this time it was a La Strada Pikes Peak and this time size was not an issue and the power was incredible, a few weeks later I got my first Ducati.

I loved to ride the bike and did quite some modifications to it (e.g. exhaust, clean tail, etc.) however it didn't take long and the problems started: failing rear brake, failing ABS, failing fuel sensor and all of that with less than 3000km.
At a certain moment I was fed up with it and sold it and got myself a new BMW R1200 LC Adventure and until now (about 5000KM) no issue at all...
However two weeks ago I got the opportunity to see a 2008 Desmosedici RR (No.1225 with 2575 km on the clock and only one owner) at a dealer which was for sale... I tested the size of the bike and could not resist, now I will have to wait for another week until it has got new tyres and a full service before I can pick it up and enjoy it...

Cheers,

HF
