What do you think about the Ducati monster SR4?...?

I think Ducks make some of the coolest bike around. They have style, handling, and looks....but....you knew there was a but coming.....Unless you have access to Duck dealership you will have a fruitless time getting parts. Who has got the closest MC dealership to you. What do they carry? If you are not going to ride the Duck too much you might be OK.
 
I've always liked Ducks, but I understand that not only are they high maintenance, but parts are expensive. Being that there aren't any dealers in my area, I lost interest.
If I'm gonna buy an import, I don't want any more hassles than necessary.
 
Dealer network is a problem, since they require more specialized maintenance (especially valve adjustment) than most bikes. In my city, they have sold quite well for a few years, since one of the largest dealers took on the line. They just dropped the line, so now there is no dealer within 125 miles, and if I owned one I'd be ticked off. It looks unlikely that any other dealer in the city will pick up Ducati.
Parts are certainly expensive, and often have to come all the way from Italy, so wait times can be a problem. I don't think the bikes are worth the hassle.
