I prefer warranties I don't need. Built well is usually guaranteed but the build quality is what's really important. A friend once tried to convince me to buy a Hyundai because the warranty was so good. It was in the shop about 10 times the first year. When it's stuck in the shop for weeks at a time or repeatedly for fixes that doesn't help me much. No thanks.
Just wondering about it all since at least with the older engines people say it's very important to follow the break in schedule. While people may not flog a demo I'm pretty sure they'll get it over 30mph in the first 300 miles and over 50mph in the first 600 which is not on the schedule. I would hate to find damage like valves, rings, main bearings, etc. that only shows up after a few thousand miles because a few people took it on the freeway while new. Not as much of a concern with the UCE.
I'm not sure what the discount would be but that certainly factors into my current situation.
Hey Bob, be nice to me, it's been a bad few weeks. Ducati totalled by a little old lady who backed into it, condo roof leaking, 3 key people at work leaving, wife's unemployment runs out this week and no prospects for a new job, and since the ins co doesn't want to pay what the Ducati's really worth I'm stuck haggling with them for the three nicest weeks of riding time we've had so far this year.
Wah!
Ok, I'm done
