Ducati making motorcycle riders into motorcycle mechanics since the 1950's

As you know, I love my Ducati V4 Speciale, but sometimes I do miss the reliability and peace of mind that I had with my CBR1000RR. There's a reason I never changed my name to "Ducati Pilot" ;)

My ducati is my favorite bike in my collection. That said I’ve replaced about 2 grand in the wiring.

Cruza just trying to justify his mt09 once again.........

Ducati is an exotic brand. If you want the performance, the Italian style and the latest tech, it's going to cost you. No different than a Ferrari. But to some people that pride of ownership is worth it. Having a good dealer around is important though.

WHAT Cruze you dont put enough miles on your bike anyway to worry about getting parts, youre selling within 1-2 years with low low low miles!!!!!!! Man stop frontin!!

That rear break didn’t cost me anything when I took my XD in for the recall. They fixed it with out question.

I think as a rule, things should only be expensive because the quality is great. The name becomes expensive because the product justifies it. If the quality sucks, then it shouldn’t be so expensive. Rich or not, if you’re not getting your money’s worth, it’s crap.

I'll be honest if you buy an Italian super bike you need to accept that you'll have some minor issues from time to time. But I've had my 2018 959 for a little over 2.5 years 10,000+ miles and I've had no real issues. It's still the coolest thing I've ever owned and I look back at it every single time I leave it in a parking lot.

08 1098s owner. Owned it for 1 year, since day one of ownership, nothing but problems. First day owning it, gear selector retention spring broke, shortly followed by a faulty voltage regulator and battery. Needed to buy specialty tools just for chain adjustment. Wonderful bike when it's running right, and I can really appreciate the Italian stallion when operating at full potential.

I cant afford one but i have friends who have their ducatis stall while we riding. Quality control and testing is key to reliability, they dont seem to do that.

The riding experience you get with Ducati is unbeatable if you can afford it😅 But for average riders I would say it’s not worth it, Japanese bikes are much less nerve racking and that’s a fact!

Right on Cycle Cruza. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, and keep it coming dude. 👍🏼👍🏼

I’ll agree with him that most Ducati dealerships are trash. They’re eager and helpful to sell it to you but the service department wants nothing to do with their warranty’s. They’ll gladly have you pay for what should be covered under warranty. A damn shame.

I had a Diavel, miss it . Love their customer service. I have an XSR900 now . Poor man’s Diavel 😂

Rear brakes are for sissies, Cruza 😉

I got a ducati 848 Evo and its a beast. Never a single Problem.

What about the Yamaha MT09 recall because of a defect that could make the handlebars come loose? You are full of it dude!

My Multistrada is the best bike I've ever owned. It's just you. You bought a first run off new model. IDC what MFG it is. You don't do that.

Unfortunately, that reliability ranking was published by Consumer Reports in 2015. Therefore, it’s not current and the percentages could look very different if based on recent surveys. I wrote Consumer Reports a few months ago and asked if they could update it. Cars get all of their attention.

Used to watch these vids daily but getting put off lately. How can you say Ducati has an R&D issue and follow that up with the rear brake problem (again), when that was a Brembo recall. How is that the fault of Ducati’s R&D? Sorry man, turned off after that.

Next video:I'm buying a Ducati.

You need a Rocket 3 as a Diavel replacement!

Well... I've owned a streetfighter v4 SP and i can tell you is the best machine ever, for 1 year and 10k miles no issues. Now looking forward to get a multistrada v4 rally too. But as top performance, i have learned you have to be very careful with maintenance, use the best fluids, screws to specified torque specs, and so on.. just look it as a beautiful expensive woman, have to take care of her, but will enjoy the ride! 😅

I ❤️ Ducati 🇮🇹 Italians makes some Bad Ass Machines

bikes of character....cost money! always have, always will

Same cheap man here. Took a leap of faith and got a SF848; nothing but problems, rear brake failing (heat induced i believe) locking on rear rim, stock brembo fluid containers letting in rain water, engine cutting off while travelling on the highway, etc. Like you, will never touch one again and staying with Japanese.

I believe it do not matter what kind of bike you purchase. People will have different experiences with any kind of bike. Some people will have amazing experiences, & some people will have bad ones. Either way, if you cant afford to maintain it. Dont buy it.

@cyclecruza And how many times in how many videos did you say the brake failure on the X-Diavel "was BREMBO issue. Not a DUCATI issue?"

I have my Diavel 1260S since it came out.. made over 24000 km. ZERO Issues. They had to bleed the brake once at the start.. I LOVE it so far.. the low down grunt is insane! And about the price.. yout have to pay to play😅😂

Can you talk about the difference in o ring and x ring chains are and which is better Thanks

CycleCeuza: ducati sucks! Two weeks later: CycleCruza: my new ducati bike!

I have a MS 950s, with 2,500 miles on it, to date, no issues at all. Every weekend I'm touring on back roads of Texas. Love my MS 950s👍🏽. Be safe bro 🙏

Cyclecruza wakes up in his bed, removes bed cover to discover decapitated head of a horse! Next video: “How I love ❤️ Ducati” video 1 of 7.

Ducati is a trail blazer and always pushing the state of the art. The new multistrada v4 looks good with adaptive cruise control and 36,000 miles between valve adjustments. I agree buying the first year of a new model is risky, but the tech is cutting edge.

@CycleCruza...what are the chances of us seeing you on a Suzuki in the future?

Cycle cruzaaaaaa the getting rid of the r6 for 2021 what is you Opinion on that?????????

CC, you should move to Philly. We have 3 Ducati dealers in close range. One of them even offers free pick up and return delivery when they service your bike. Plus we have much more picturesque winding roads.

Oh shit! I had that rear brake problem where it just doesn't work on my 2010 Multistrada 1200S! All this freaking time, and Ducati is STILL having issues on a safety critical part. Way to go, Luigi 🙄

Ducati is the only brand that I know of that has a scheduled periodic valve adjustment, do you know why that is? That is the reason I woudn't buy a Ducati. I have a Kawasaki z900 2018, and it has never had a single issue.

I have a 2005 Monster 620 that has never had a single problem. It still ping-taps down the road today. Also have a 2014 Monster 1200s with no problems. The 1200 is wicked fun and looks badass. Weird how that works sometimes. They must have issues with quality control. Italians of course, have a much different view about work than Americans. Work is a part of life for them, not instead of life like us. I also have an old 89 KZ1000P that stays in various states of repair. It still runs despite having almost 90,000 miles on it.

Hyper 950 is the way, its both your bikes in one package.

I ride since 2018 a ducati 939 hypermotard 2017. And i am still Happy with this Bike. No issues or something Else... its my first Ducati. Before i owned a Yamaha r1 for 10 years and had no issues to.

Didn't you get rid of that bike? is this a reupload?

Rear brake on the XD has been corrected as of 2019

3:07 feels like adult cartman

Ducati R&D chase measurable data and numbers at the expense of reliability, and even rider feel at the racing level, which is what holds them back.

What about that new triumph trident???

Were you get gloves from

The influence of VW/Audi as owners has improved the new generations of Ducati bikes, better built and should be more reliable.

You were much nicer about Ducati in the video than what the video title says. I've had two Multistrada's and they have been amazing, fun, and reliable bikes

Just watched one of your videos from 2016 and my god you have toned it down a 1000%

As long as you have a Japanese bike in the garage, get any other bike you like. That way when the exotic bike is down waiting on parts you are all good. Done.

People I know have 2 Ducati . One they bought to ride. The second is for parts to keep the first one running

In my experiance, its been really violent and just rough and everything is expensive

I've had 2 ducks. I won't buy another. My analogy is this... Ducati's are like sparklers. Fun to play with for a minute but once that spark is gone, it's not worth a crap. I had a Diavel and at 998 miles, the gearbox locked up. The entire engine had to be disassembled to fix it. It was never the same. My dealer did their best to make it right but when it was all said and done, it was just never the same.

But I’m thinking about trading my 2003 Aprilia RSV Mille for a Ducati Scrambler 1100 or a Ducati Hypermotard 939 SP 😪, I’m in love with Italian bikes lmao

Hey CC, you been riding bikes rolling enough to know now, that you have to “PAY TO PLAY” I own a Yamaha R1 and A Honda F4i...BOTH bikes I’ve put almost the price of BOTH bikes to just to keep them Maintained!! Great VideO thO!! 🏍💨💯

Welp... the new V4 Multistrada is binning the desmo valve system and going with springs, practically doubling the valve check duration. Other things happening in the new Multi that promises to be more reliable, less maintenance costs, etc.

I haven’t had one problem with my 959

I bought a 2007 Ducati 1098 and absolutely love it for what it is. It is a superbike, not a standard or tourer. Now I am in my 60s so the riding position gets old for a long ride but I will never sell it. It goes to my son. My dealer is an hour away and service is expensive so I do what I can myself since it is way out of warranty.

Dam cyclecruza how many bikes do you have? I thought you only had two

I almost got a monster years ago. I'm glad I didn't. I love sexy exotic bikes, but I can't afford the parts+shipping, shop rates and special tools. I ride a Triumph (06 speed triple) and a KTM (07 990 super duke). Both what I consider somewhat exotic but I'm not wealthy either and I decided if I'm going to own an exotic bike, I better know how to wrench on them, and so I learned (and still learning). The Triumph's engine is bulletproof and hasn't given me any major issues (everything fixable by me) and parts can be found on eBay. Nothing is as reliable as a Japanese bike though for sure. Cruza you need to try a rocket 3. I think you'll like it.

My favourite bike is a ducati monster i would love to own one

They more reliable than Yamaha in MotoGP at least 🤣

The irony is, I haven't seen my MT10 SP for 6 weeks because it's at the dealer being fixed. Throttle bodies needed replacing at a cost of £2k plus labour. I'd still never go near a European bike though.

I recently got a ducati 620 sport from 2006 because im gonna get ma a2 licence soon now im on a rc125 ktm But the ducati is way easier to work on especially to do a oil change or sparkplugs, airfilter or battery change Everyone says them ducatis are expensive and unreliable but if u get a slightly older one they really easy to repair and work on ( the newer ones are nightmares to work on tho😆)

There is always a trade off between performance and reliability in my opinion. I have loved all the Ducati's I have owned. At least they are innovating very aggressively from year to year. The same can't be said for some of the other manufacturers.

I havent had much issues out of my rsv4 and i beat the piss out of it. Never owned a Ducati but was thinking about trading in my speed triple for a 1200s monster..

You took the words out of my mouth. All that bike is is a static display in some rich boys garage.

Here in Virginia we have 3 or 4 Ducati dealerships spread over the state and we even have 2 MV Agusta dealers I believe(they both are owned by the same person I think). That's why I love living here in Virginia ! Back home in Hawaii, there's one Ducati dealer who sells Ducati's but as you can imagine the expense is double or triple that of 'Mainland' maintenance price due to the distance of distribution to get the parts. Also, there's no MV Agusta dealers in Hawaii. So, in that sense, Hawaii sucks...lol.....

So what you are saying is you cannot afford one? They are exotics and there is expensive upkeep along with it. Look at people who build very high output car motors. There is much more maintenance associated with it.

Ducati is crap, just take a look at the engine test here in youtube “they find 50, 100 and even 150 micrometers particles inside their new engines “that includes all Panigales, naked bikes and even MotoGp engines! Only Ducati and chinese brands have those metal particles for normal use inside the engines. That means his engines have bad quality and makes that 3 of 10 new bikes fail in the first year, the maximum size of particles inside japanese brand was of 30 micrometers.

You know you missing that Ducati xDiavel lol

Spell thing I hate about the Katie motorcycles is you can't do your own maintenance without voiding the warranty how hard is it to basic maintenance on a motorcycle I don't want to pay $700 every 4 months. 😕

Their servicing costs are excessive. Why do they put a battery under a fuel tank? It is like they deliberately build, an impractical machine to service, so they can deliberately "jack" up their servicing costs. And they don't match the Japanese bike manufacturers reliability, and first class precision engineering. With a Ducati it's all style over substance. I agree with Cyclecruza completely.

I heard today..that the WR250 has been canceled. It was a merciful killing.. no announcment of a replacement. Sorry about the topic change.

I went from a Honda to a Ducati, and while I don’t regret it, I miss the near perfect reliability of my Fireblade. I love Italian motorcycles, but I can’t stand people that shit on Japanese engineering.

The jism effect is back babyyy!

And this is why I love the big 4 from Japan. Give me a Honda over a Duccati any day. Sorry not sorry

Why Ducati Sucks - because you don’t own one 🤣

I would like to have an X-deaval Like you had, that was a sick looking bike. But I don't have Ducati money like you say. Peace brother.

Why haven’t you bought a Suzuki or Kawasaki yet, unless I’ve missed it

Iam coming to u r vedios just to hear u r bebe shout .I really like it

Ducati too expensive for me and nearest dealership is two hours away in Columbus Ohio. I like the Japanese bikes too.

No problems with actual bike tho apart from break failure

This has nothing to do about this video but I'm getting a trials bike soon

Its quite similar to my Aprilia experience. I owned 2 Aprilia Pegasos 650 Strada for combined 3,5 years, and the styling is among the most beautiful. Sound? Amazing for 45hp. But reliability? Nah man. I had to get rid of it. Now I drive a air-cooled Honda. Reliability on steroids, I believe so.

Ducati is not small company. They are owned by vw. So they have the resources to do better r&d and make better and more reliable bikes.

the BMW gs has issuise with the frame,S1000rr issuise with the Engine i seesomme of those Engine blow and leak on the Brakes,The r1 has major issuisewith the gearbox,currently Kawasakiwith the Gearbox.And you zaljing about Brake wich is not eavwn a Puace from Ducati?If somthin tiny goes wrong on Ducati its a major thing,and if somthing brake on other Brands yeah can happen.

They're owned by Volkswagen who WANTED to sell the brand 3 years ago but the labor unions and Porsche stopped it. What does that tell you?

I don't own any Ducatis. But if I do I could only see it in the collector bike side of things. Take it out, rip it, put it bike and ride my reliable bikes. And I couldn't ever see buying one new. Seems like a toilet flush of money to me.

I'm more pissed off by my bicycle's rear brake not working.

Another drawback when buying a Ducati is it costs thousands in premium for the name!🤔

Well my 1000 double R had a crankshaft problem. So far for the japanese bikes🤷‍♂️

Crammed for speed and light weight, harder to build, seriously harder to work on, so money bags Ducati owner probably takes it to the shop. A little girl with a kids tool box could replace a stator on many standard Japanese bikes, but a money bags Harley owner might need a huge socket and bigger breaker bar, so it's to the shop; which one is taking the survey? Some of the suck on the charts could be bad mechanic stomping around in crammed, making things worse, some could be money bag's expectations. Saw crammed in violation of decades old Air Force specifications, wrote it up with clear citations, twice, the president with suits showed up months later "quietly" checking it out, because hey, it was more than two suit's fault. Crammed means one bad day on the line and your bike can't make it out of warranty and another guy gets 80,000 miles with only oil changes... If some people like it, fine, I'd rather have less crammed for reliability.

The true Italian exotic is MV Agusta 😍

I'll get a ducati when I can afford 2 or 3 bikes. That way I'll still have a bike while I fix that Italian Stallion 🔥!

For me, ducati's is made for those people who is willing to spend and they are honest that the machine is costly because of the parts coming from italy.
