I've looked around on CL and the general internet comparing prices of older Ducati street bikes, and (as far as I can tell), most 996S, 998S/Matrix, and 999S motorcycles with 3,000-10,000 miles all cost between $7,500 and $9,500.
Just curious of the perception some of these bikes have ten or fifteen years later.. Seems like the service intervals are all pretty constant at 6/12K miles, so getting a 999 over a 996 won't make maintenance any less in frequency.
Besides some turning their nose up at the 999's headlights (I honestly don't think they're too bad..), is the general perception that these bikes are pretty reliable when maintained?
Since the prices are (Relatively) similar, is there reason to pick up an older bike like the 996 over a newer bike like the 999?
How's the fit for someone who's 6'8?
Thanks for the feedback
