Before you even buy a Ducati please find out the cost of replacing the timing belt. Then you decide.

Many Ducati owners faster sell off their bikes just before the timing belt needs to be changed.
Kalau gaji besar atau mak bapak tolong support beli & maintain motor besar, go ahead.

Kalau takde duit like the rest of us. get real and stick to the Benelli Cappuccino.

That 360 degrees firing sequence (both pistons goes up n down at the same time) create a superb exhaust sounds even on its standard muffler....

That's the part I don't understand about Benelli QJ. They already have a mature 3-cylinder engine in the 899cc and 1050 guises, why on earth aren't they capitalizing on it...?

Asyik-asyik parallel twin.

Imagine the 899cc triple in the new adventure tourer - it would have sold like hot cakes (if only they would beef up that spindly frame). In fact, kalau masuk the inline 4 frm the TNT600 pun dah cukup best dah tu. But noooo.... they prefer to take that overused 250cc parallel twin, korek block kaww-kaww & stuff it in.

In fact, 899 triple in the Cappuccino sure mencanak wheelie...

Not really. The Benelli triples are the Italian company's own engines manufactured in Pesaro, Italy... so I think emission is a non-issue. Besides, Benelli's TNT899, TNT1030, TRK1030 triples are being sold in Europe without a problem.

These are very decent engines, and I can't imagine why Pesaro can't supply the engines to QJ.

It's almost as if, despite having been bought over by QJ, Benelli Italy still refuses to share their designs & components with its Chinese counterparts. Which is pretty arrogant considering the Pesaro office's sluggish sales and slow-as-fcuk development.
