never, never brands

Anything from China. Would never purchase a Ducati because of the maintenance. I was talking to a Ducati representative at the Ducati display at the Laguna Seca race track, and I asked him how long it took to perform a valve adjustment on the two cylinder, Penagale, and he stated "It would take 12 1/2 hours for a trained, Ducati technician to perform a valve adjustment." And I thought performing a valve adjustment for my CB1100 was a lot of work!
