That's a good point; I understand the newer models are more reliable. All I know is that if I had a dime for every time I've seen a 916, 996, or 998 break down, I'd be able to afford me one!I have 7,000 miles on my Ducati Diavel now and haven't had a single problem.
It's like you're describing an 1125. That is what you're doing, right?
