On a quiet night, I can actually hear my Ducati depreciating in the garage. They are wonderful machines, but the cost of ownership is overwhelming.
It's really surprising to me, an amazing bike, but seemingly worthless over 10k Miles! perhaps due to the newer V4 models coming out? but I still love mine and would certainly have One over any GS 😉
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I think it is more so the fear of high-cost problems after it crosses the 10K milage mark. My '17 Multi 1200S developed a faulty rear shock at 15K miles. Dealer wanted $3,300 USD to repair. Lost trust in the bike after that and sold it, especially with the Desmo service coming due. Bought a '22 VSTROM 1050XT. Not as exciting as the Multi but 95% as capable, handles just as well, and extraordinarily less costly to maintain.
@@terrellgarren7125 Yes I've been meaning to test out the V-STROM as it has a great reputation
Great video as always mate
Thanks 😁
I love my multi it’s my third one .no problem at all .services are expensive on all bikes
On my 3rd as well! And would have a 4th if it came along 😂
Sorry to hear about your woes selling the multistrada. I did consider the baby 950 multistrada but ended up with an S1000Xr and love it. If you like comfort and speed, go XR. If just comfort then maybe GS and at least you’ll always be able to sell it.
I have heard good things about the 950 Multistrada, but not so good on the XR? Are they not a bit of a nightmare with vibration at speed? and I've had 2 GS1200 now, amazing bikes, just a bit dated at the same price range as the 1260. You need to be looking at a 2018+ GS to get all the fun toys, and they are much more than the 1260 😉
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I’m an older rider (seems like the only kind that ride bikes anymore) and suffer from my right hand going numb on most bikes. So I was super wary about the XR however, I have the heavy bar ends and although there is a tiny bit of vibration at around 70 to 80 mph, it’s nothing that effects my hand or enjoyment of the bike. There is also a little tingling through the foot pegs at that speed too, so if you’re super sensitive to this stuff then it may be a problem but I don’t even notice it. I ride a GSXR too and this gives me just as much fun but sitting upright in a bubble of calm with negated grips and cruise control. No downside for me but we are all different so you’d have to ride one to find out whether you liked it.
@@johnsteel4719 I'll definitely test One out thanks 😁
Had same problem and of numb hand with xr it was partly the engine and developing carpal tunnel syndrome . Now have 1260 I love the engine on 1260 the xr made me ride crazy
@@johnsteel4719 How's the vibration of the XR above 80? Assuming it just gets worse each mph
I dealt with the same took the hit in for 10 grand from a seller in Virginia rode it back to NY thinking I’d be able to reseal after putting a few miles on it because I had seen them go for 15-16 but when I posted it for sale didn’t have anyone seriously trying to buy it most people were asking a lot of questions no one seriously trying to see the bike and other that sounded like thieves asking for my Alfred then never telling me they’d come to see it after getting my address. Then I’ve seen them for sale for 8-9500 so I felt I’d just keep it and keep riding as its the most comfortable bike I’ve owned for long trip and commuting
Such an underated used Sports Tourer in my opinion, there is nothing to match it for the tech and excitment at under £10k 😁
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes certainly so I agree. I love the bike that’s why I didn’t bother trying to make profit since it delivers what you ask of it. Only issue I’ve ever had is recently the past two weeks when I give it gas full throttle locally or past 95 it starts backfiring and cutting off power as it does and I’m not the type to go to the dealer but I did go this time around and they don’t know what’s wrong with it either nothing came up on their diagnostic tool
@@Redir89 I hope it;s nothing serious for you, sounds like a fueling or spark issue? have you joined the Facebook group for the 1260, they are a great wealth of knowledge, and maybe will have a better idea, someone may have had the same issue.
I only got to 5:13 and had to reply, i tried to sell px whatever a mint R1200GS 18 mths ago with 27k full history etc and nobody wanted it, i been a biker for over 40yrs and can honestly say i do not know of any of my pals who would buy a used bike regardless of Manufacturer with over 12/15k miles.
Massive stigma over bikes with slightly higher miles oh yes, but why !, i paid 15k for a 1260s with 5k miles 18mths ago after eventually getting a px on the Gs, its now on 20k miles and im keeping it, no point in swapping not much on market thats better in my opinion, good vid 👍.
I think your right, the market for bikes over 15k miles has all but died! Especially if you're trying to PX at a dealer, people seem to be happy to pay £15k for a 2018 Multistrada with 5k miles, but wouldn't consider the same bike with 20k miles more, even at half that price!!! Even with a full Ducati Service History? People go on about how certain bikes go on forever, but you may well end up having to keep it forever after a couple of touring trips abroad 🤣
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes And the strangest thing is it's an adventure bike it's meant to be used do why is there no consideration for this, it's not like it comes out on a Sunday if the Sun's out 🤣.
Many brands are good for 200,000+ km easily with just routine maintenance. I've put 165,000-km on my 2002 BMW R1150-RS with zero issues, other than regular maintenance, all of which I can readily do myself. Runs like the day it rolled out of the showroom, and the bike is a blast, as it handles very well in the twisties, yet it's adjustable ergonomics make it comfortable on all-day rides. The side cases are detachable so I keep the weight low when I'm on day trips, but can load up for over-night trips.
I bought my Second 2002 BMW R1150-RS in 2020 used, with only 23,000-km on it - barely broken in - for a steal at $5,500! I'll likely get all my money back when I 'retire' from riding in the next couple of years or so.
Buying used is the best way to go. If it's like you say, and the market for used bikes is so soft, then prices will reflect that, and there will be deals to be had with low-mileage bikes in top condition, like mine was...
@@garymaclean6903
I can't agree more why we, me, I, us lol always look for the low mileage bikes, it's probably because we know it will make way for a new model in 2 yrs time, instead of keeping the buggers, hope you continue to enjoy your riding and retire contented.
I don’t think it’s just Ducati
The bike market & car market are both CRAZY
For instance I’ve been looking around for around 18 months at different bikes & here is what I found prices make no sense at dealers or privately.
1. Ducati Diavel carbon 2016 with 8k miles full history Gen 2
it’s mint condition, the shop put it up for sale in June 2023 & it’s still for sale now £8995.
The cheapest Carbon Diavel i can find is a 2011 for £6500 which a Gen 1. But go the other way you can get a 2020 Gen 3 for £11,000. Prices just don’t make sense.
And it’s the same story for the bmw Gs.
At this moment in time bmw are trying to sell all there old stock 1250 as the new 1300 GSA is out soon.
So you can buy a BMW R1250 GSA TE with Rallye , Trophy spec for as little as £18,200.
With a £1200 vouchers for luggage. So you’re getting a brand new bike for £17,000 in real terms.
But there are 2019 GSA up for sale for £14,000 & some 21 plates for £16000.
The cheapest GSA I could find with the LCD clocks / dash is £11,000 on a late 2018 & that’s a 1200 one. How on earth is a 6 & a half year old bike with an old engine worth just 6k less than a brand new one.
So many bikes are just not selling , but no one seems to be dropping prices.
It’s totally NUTS
If you don’t believe me check out bmw website for prices
You can get a brand new R1250GSA with 0 miles on bmw pcp 2.9% for zero deposit & only £190 pm
But you buy a second hand one it’s 10.9% & it’s £320 pm because instead of £1700 in interest on the new one , the used one gets £6,000 in interest charges CRAZY
Some great points made here, thanks Paul 😁
They are great bikes but due to the serving and this Desmo its hard this time of year anyway bud , I love them, really do
Can't sell my f350 !, put up for px and keep getting offers 600bhp motors !
No thanks lol
Take care bud
These are in my top 10 bikes I've owned over 40 years 😁 but yeah..... Owning a Ducati is a passion for sure, if you think with your head, I don't think they make much sense 🤣
I think its probably down to people's experience...these Ducatis are like bottomless pits, their so expensive to run especially if you like doing the miles...😮
Yes it's unlike any other bike in a lot of ways, but not easy to own on a budget! if you can do a lot of the work yourself, then it's perfect, it's just the service costs that freak people out, if you can do the valve clearance and belts yourself then happy days 😁
I went to a local dealer and they had a showroom full of them for sale. Like you say 38k miles on a serviced bike is nothing today 😢
So many people chopped their 1260 in for the new V4, that the dealers are full of them, oddly enough though, the 1200 DVT is still holding its money? Personally I wouldn't want anything over say 60k miles, but 38k and FSH there is plenty of life left 😁
@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I know of a FJR1300 with over 140k and still going strong and used all year round. But always serviced correctly 🤣
@@richardgiles2484 Probably easier to sell than a 40k mile Ducati 🤣
People just aren't buying anything anymore. I have my eye on a VFR800 as a second bike. It's not been touched since the MOT lapsed. the dealer offered to do the valve clearance and spark plugs for free for me today. 1/5th the value of the bike.
Buying from dealers is making more sense these days, you can ask them to do almost anything before you buy, look at the previous video to this, and everything Laguna in kent did for me just to get the bike sold! but even with all that..... nobody wanted it 🤣
Cheap pcp deals on new bikes and cars have eroded the second hand market over the years, we live in a throw away society now.
Very true statement Chris 😉
Who would buy a high milage bike and try and flip it quick silly. I've been watching a fair few classic bikes and they haven't sold.
Don't forget many people buy on pcp return in 3 years so probably not interested in this sort of bike. These bikes are Fab if two up touring bike miles . If not pointless ,naked bikes much better option.
It's a weird one for me, whenever I have a touring bike, I want a naked bike, and visa versa! But j just cannot fault the 1260 as a bike, it's super quick, super comfortable, sounds amazing, and j enjoyed every ride so far. But I get bored quickly! I kinda knew I overpaid for it, I just didn't realize how difficult it might be to move on, and people's views generally on higher mileage bikes, probably the highest mileage bikes I've owned, not sure I would make the mistake again, but wow what a bike!!! The only reason I've even considered selling, is if it tips over 40k miles in my ownership, it will be almost impossible to get anything near what I paid, so I'm considering selling before then 😉
Why would you call 37,000-miles 'high mileage'? BMW's are just getting broken in at that range... 🙂 You're selling it 'just because I fancy a new ride"? You never rode with ear plugs before?
People see 37K as very high on an Italian bike. On a Japanese one or GS then nobody bats an eye. Remember bikes are a hobby for most.
No I haven't felt the need for ear plugs before, as I tend to do shorter rides, but obvuiously on the Motorway there are essential. Totally agree regarding BMW... under 40k is considered low Miles! And I'm considering selling, as my fear is once it tips over 40k Miles it will be virtually worthless at this rate
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I've owned my previous BMW for 17 years. When I sold it (for health reasons) it still looked and ran like the day I bought it. I bought another 2002 BMW R-1150RS with only 23,000-km on it after my hip surgery, and still ride. My 1974 Ducati 750-GT is in Great condition, and is valued at $25,000 - more than 10 times what I paid for it.
For me bikes are a long-term investment. Once I own it I rarely consider what it's worth if I sell, because I have no plans to sell it. I do my homework before I buy, researching owner feedback and reliability reports. I bought my BMW because routine maintenance is ridiculously easy, and I've never had any repairs other than a broken ignition connection. To me ownership is an investment of emotion and effort to keep the bike in top shape. Once I've owned a bike I've decided I want to own I see no reason to get rid of it.
I offloaded my Ducati Monster before it broke me.
We had the Monster 1200 on the channel too, what an amazing bike! But mine went into limp mode on my first ride 🤣
Wait, it's your biggest mistake because you might face some depreciation and difficulty selling it? You're going to keep it instead of trying something else because you'll lose $1k? In the US you have to pay tax, fees, and reg every time you buy a bike and it's often more than you mentioned losing.
Glad I don't live in the USA then 🤣
Sounds like you need to buy a Honda.
A nice Transalp perhaps 🤣
Again a buyers remorse video. Feel for you mate. I had a Suzuki Across and nobody wanted to buy it.
It's more the fact dealers refused to even consider an offer, or take it as PX that freaked me out! but there is a twist in this tale coming soon 🤣
Click bait. Terrible naming of a bad second hand purchase.
It's not clickbait if it's true? But thanks for your comment
It is when the title is irrelevant @@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes
@@vadimsedletsky9251 The title being that my buying a high mileage Ducati was a huge mistake? how is that irrelevant? it's just me explaning that I made a mistake, and talking about how people seem scared to buy high mileage Italian bikes? not sure what is so clickbait about that 🙄
Not the time of year to sell a bike. Buy in winter, sell in summer.
@@John900C Video was made May last Year, but totally agree, trying to sell it now would be even worse 🤣
Such a stupid and uninterested review .
More worried about his earplugs then the bike
Thanks for the comments 😁
