Just got an email from MotoRapido in Winchester, they are doing a deal for servicing which ought to appeal to multiple Ducati owners especially:
DUCATI Winter service discounts! Its that time again!
Its that time again! with the salt on the roads for the first time last night and the clocks changing we finally have to give up on summer!
With such a wet summer and many riders not getting the miles on their Ducati's as they would have liked, we have now designed a dedicated low mileage service plan for you so you can keep you Ducati as the factory intended without having to pay for a 6000 or even 12000 mile service when you may have only done 2000 this year!
An example:
Ducati 748/916 or 996, Due for a service every 6000 miles or 12 months, may have only done 3000 miles or less since the last service but it is now over a year ago, our 12 month service on this bike will be just £199 including VAT! simply because several items are not due until you get to the higher miles so the service can be modified to suit - if it is now due a cambelt replacement (due every 24 months regardless of miles) then just add £99!
