My mc17 is nuts. Done 62000 km. No cam chain, its gear driven cams. Looks to be hard to kill, mines been dropped very hard a few times and its still straight, crack up bike, especially at 18k rpm... :-)

So it's NOT the chick in the jeans, parker, and thong on the back whining?
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Shudder. And slower than a CBR250RR

With far more Character and Charisma than a rather common Honda ...

Even far more prone to being poorly maintained. '92 Ducatis are about as reliable as Chery J3s.

I would take a GS500 over this anyday.

Don't. Just don't. Plenty of reasons already listed.

Written by someone who has never owned one perhaps? Just like religion, the 'holier than thou' approach is rife with a lot of Riders claiming that their particular Brand of Bike is 'Best'. After 42 Years of Riding, Racing and Bike ownership I can assure you that there is no such thing as a perfect Bike.
Ducatis in general are owned by an older, more mature Rider, who is generally more fastidious about maintenance than the average Owner. The other myth is that of 'Expensive to service' which is absolute Bollocks. CamBelts and Valve Clearances, Oil & Filters, just like any Japanese Bike, except for the Cambelts. Camchain replacement on an average second-hand Japanese Bike usually costs more than the Bikes total value. Do you drive a Car? Chances are, that it also requires CamBelt replacement avery 20,000Km or so, do you slag off your 'Brand' of car to everyone?
Any semi-competent Owner would be quite capable of servicing a 2-Valve Ducati in His/Her Home Workshop without specialist Tools. Can't be said for most Japanese Multis though.

No 'Reasons' listed at all, just the usual sanctimonious 'My Brand is better than your Brand' bias.

The original Poster is looking for a LAMS Learner Bike. Why is the top speed of a Bike a prerequisite for someone to learn to ride? I'm very glad that you are not teaching new Riders if that is your sole selling point for a Learner Bike ...
