I understand Ducati bikes cost more for insurance, replacement parts, after market parts, msrp, maintenance, etc., but I want to know how much more (per year) does it really cost to own a Ducati (particularly the 848 evo.) I have heard the cost for Ducati bikes have been decreasing throughout the last couple of years though. Is this true? Lastly, I want to know weather or not you think the extra cost of owning a Ducati is worth getting one or should I stick with the Japanese bikes.
P.S.
How much more is the Ducati 848 compared to a Japanese bike like the zx6r or zx10r?
