Just passed it on the morning commute.  I'm still waiting for it to blow up so that I have a good excuse for buying an 848, but so far this is all that's wrong:

Throttle's sticking
Oil leaks (many)
Tires are bald

Does Ducati give out cash rewards for hitting this many miles?  The tires alone are gonna set me back a bit.  I'm holding off until I see steel belting.   [cheeky]

Yep. It's called voiding your warranty.

I've never owned a vehicle with a warranty.  Never owned a new vehicle.

How do you double the value of 'belle's Monster?
Fill the tank and put new tires on it.

I think KBB has my bike listed around 1800 if you average trade-in and private sale...I was still shocked that there were four digits before the decimal places.
