Oi the 600 Duke is a nice package and don't break down ;)
Ha ha. I once interviewed Federico Minoli who was the president of Ducati, he told me that when TPG bought out Ducati in 1998 they did a review of all the components used and they found several electrical components had a 100% failure rate - meaning they were guaranteed to fail during the warranty period.

As I straddled my 2 yr old Ducati 900SS outside the Earls Court bike show in 1981, I turned the ignition key and the ignition barrel turned to dust. The electrical switches were unbelievably shit then too. Luckily I was allowed back into the bike show and found a brand new (shitty) Ducati ignition switch from a stall and fitted it, all in about 30 minutes.

I do like the jdm 400 and 250. If only I was a lithe as a Japanese person. You know there was a 400 monster! Fun bike and still have some of it left. They were really cheap and no one wanted them here.
