Big respect, sir. That shows commitment.


I had a Ducati GT1000 and it was my daily driver and lived outside through several Welsh winters with no ill effects, although I did slather it in ACF-50 before the bad weather. I reckoned the materials and build quality were excellent, and it looked as good as new when I sold it.


As others have said, there is no way a modern motorcycle, even an Italian, should suffer so badly from the use you have described.

It looks like my bike has been stored outside not under cover before purchase. Initiating the corrosion. Its still a helluva thing to consider aluminium parts on the electrical system turning to dust in such a short time..

The bike design cant cope with keeping the spray and salt off itself, its a terrible design in that respect. Its a joke to think it has 'touring' in its blood https://www.ducati.com/ww/en/bikes/supersport/supersport .

"The SuperSport blends comfort with versatility thanks to solutions that make it perfect for everyday road riding.."

Its not fit for that purpose as advertised..?
