I'll just get right to it. I inherited my father's motorcycle collection after his passing. There are six bikes in total, 4 of which are Ducati's that he took incredible care of, and was always doing routine maintenance on until he couldn't ride them anymore (which was about 2-3 years ago).

Anyway, would any of you have some advice on my best route in selling them?
How are these online auction houses like Bring a Trailer or Mecum?
Some of the reviews for sites like these look REALLY shaky, but I'd like to get top value for these bikes and not have to deal with individual test rides and that kind of thing because they're in a different location from where I live (Boston area) and ideally, it's one person/bike shop/auction house that I'm dealing with.

Here's the make/model of the bikes.
1999 ST4 Mileage: 21,600 that he bought used with 5,800 miles
2000 996 Mileage: 15,334 bought new
2004 MTS 1000 Mileage: 5524 bought new
2006 999R Mileage unknown as of now, but bought new.

EDIT: The bikes are all located in central New Hampshire

I did this before and don’t remember it getting stuck . I can’t pull rod out on clutch basket side bc of the anti rotate spikes on slave cylinder side . The pressure plate is off but now the thing that went into bearing is stuck . I’ve pulled and turned it. About to put a torch to it to see if heat will loosen .

Any idea how to get it off ? Is it twist off? Thanks

Heard that it adjusts the emission during driving and if you swap it for another “thingy” it will perform better in lower rpm.

Picked it up a month ago with 11 miles, put 1200 on since and never spent so much time staring at a bike in my life.

Not sure how it ended up this colour, original invoice says special edition but all pretty standard and can't find anything online.

I recently got a V2. Today I tried to unlock and open the passenger seat in the back, and in doing so the rider seat unlatched at the front (I don’t think those are even supposed to be connected, so I have no idea why it popped up in the first place) but now I’m having a hell of a time trying to get the seat back on.

I’ve completely removed the rider seat and I can’t figure out how to get the front portion of the seat to connect to the bike.

Does anyone with a Panigale V2 have any videos, advice, or suggestions on how to get the seat back on? Thanks

Hey guys, the seat on the street fighter v2 is a bit hot for my taste compared to my other Ducatis, I ordered a heat shield kit is there any exhaust systems that route the pipes away from my ass? lol, as well any other good mods I should do? Thanks!!

What’s your experience with this bike? Is it that much heavier than the hyper 698/ ktm 690. Does it feel like a supermoto? Fun factor?

ducati is running a school at COTA and Laguna Seca this year. Interestingly they are very restrictive on which bikes they allow. From the registration page

Approved Bikes: Superleggera, Panigale 2013 – Present, Panigale V2' Streetfighter V4 or V2, Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak or RS

I think this is funny as all get out, as I did one of these at COTA in 2014 when Ducati partnered with Jason Pridmore's Star School. Back then I took my 2001 Honda VFR. It is the right shade of red and has a single sided swingarm, so it kinda fit it.

You guys with V2 Pikes Peak bikes are apparently no cool enough to hang out. And don't even think of showing up on something more than 10 years old. Your 1198 is clearly not suitable for track use.

I did buy a 1199s after that event, so maybe marketing works?

Hi guys , just thought I’d share my 899 Panigale.

I also own a 2012 Diavel.

Cheers

Google is no help

CEO Claudio Domenicali just released a view of the new Special Edition Monster Senna six days ago.

Here's his LinkedIn post, link remaining naked for clarity and transparency:

What is this V22R project he's talking about? The V21L project was the electric bike that's on the MotoE circuit right now, I know that, but I haven't heard hide nor hair of a V22R.

Thoughts?? Am I missing something? I LOVE hearing of new Team Red bikes, but there's no way Claudio just dropped something new at the beginning of a LinkedIn post like that.

I’m interested in this bike, but will it do inclined fire roads. Will knob tires necessary? I plan on doing 10% off road.

Hello Experts!

I've purchased a Panigale V2 yesterday and it's my first 300 cc plus bike. Always dreamt of it as a kid but finally owning it is something else.

Now to the actual question, the seller has mentioned the bike needs oil service. I reached out to local Ducati service and they said it'll cost around 400-500 in which they are also going to do some chain related adjustments and electronic checkup (more like a general checkup)

Do I take it to Ducati or find a third party service to get the oil change done, and what about the general checkup, can I get that done elsewhere as well

Thanks all!

Getting flashing dss light on my multistrada v2s while hard acceleration or when going over speed bumps/pot holes. The error hoes away when i restart my bike. The dealer said that the front suspension sensor didn't like something and it gave an error. Did you have similar issues? If so how did you guys fix it?

Hey all! New rider here and I am going to be picking up my first bike tomorrow - a 2019 Monster 797. The bike has some mods from a previous owner, including bar end mirrors. As a new rider I want the functionality of traditional mirrors, but I haven’t had much luck finding parts that say they will fit. Is there a place the community recommends for OE parts other than the dealer? Are there cheaper aftermarket options? I haven’t been able to find info for how the original mirrors are mounted (thread pitch, depth etc). Any and all info is appreciated!!
