Yea I noticed that on their website (they said maintenance at 15k for most bikes if I recall correctly). Good to keep in mind.
Thanks for the answers guys, just dipping my mind into the idea
. I'd probably start w/ a used 600 and then if I really like it, possibly upgrade to a new Ducati later down the road. I like the ninja 600's but I'm sure there's other 600's to keep an eye out for (used) as well - are there any recommendations? I want something with the ability to get sub 4 0-60 times (just a way for me to gauge the acceleration compared to a car...), and relatively cheap used (~5k hopefully?).
EDIT: Some quick searching it seems the ninja 650r is in my price range (seems a little stretch). Seems like a fast bike. Would this be an ok beginners bike, assuming I can control my throttle inputs? (I'll be taking a motorcycle course before even seriously looking at bikes to purchase.)
