I've always had a thing for Ducatis... Monsters in particular. I just found a deal on a 2006 S2R with 5200 miles on the clock for $6000 obo. I know the 6000 mile service is coming up. Is anyone familiar with Ducati maintainence costs? I steered away from an Aprilia SXV 5.5 because of maintainence costs. I know Ducs are pricey, but how bad are they? It's been about 3 years since I've owned a bike, so I'm a bit out of the loop.
