Minsu: Make sure you get one with an aluminum tank (848 corse SE might have that if I remember correctly, but the 1198SP definitely does). The only real issue with these bikes is the plastic tanks (not even made by Ducati) deforming over time because of an ethanol reaction. |
True, I have never rode or owned one I admit. I only know from my readings.
As for 20k for a TT build should be plenty. My build thread shows a breakdown of what it cost for my build including tools and nick knacks along the way. Give or take a few hundred and I rounded up and down.
