First time I have seen one of these, a little expensive?

Can I ask why you bought one?

[Jacksee]

It cost me 126 US about 70 UK pounds, what’s the cost of a standard filter?
I have my bike in Corfu Greece and I only get to ride it 3 times a year about 8 weeks total and then it goes back into my mates store room. With the hot weather and the hard riding it gets I change the oil and filter each time I leave the bike. It maybe a bit of over kill but I know each time its put away its ready to go when I get back. The other issue is it makes the front of the engine look a lot tidier and sportier.

Standard filter about £5 each , that's a genuine Ducati filter

Cheaper still, if you buy 10 or more

ps, pity the bikes in Greece, fancied meeting up for a 'blast'

Think I'd rather replace the conventional filter more frequently (than recommended) than the hastle of washing an oil filter.
