Possibly in the near future I'll be trading in my street bike for something new and have been looking at the Ducati 848 as the replacement. I wan't to get the thoughts and opinions of other that are more knowledgeable than I about Ducati's. I know they tend to cost more to maintain but the new service intervals have made it a bit cheaper. I've seen quite a range of prices on the services done on the bike to maintain the warranty. Doesn't anyone know what they cost locally? Also, is there any place that will allow a test ride?

Thanks!
