Do you guys think a 10 yr old Duc will be a reliable ride. I had an 03 Harley that was dead on reliable.

Reliable & Ducati are antonyms.

Savage bike though

Everything since the late 90s has been fairly close to jap bike reliability.

Stuff that's broken on me:

916: Fuel pump, EFI relay, clutch slave. In ~30,000 miles.

998R: Clutch slave, headlight bulb, brake light switch. In ~20,000 miles.

Monster: Nothing. In ~15,000 miles.

Just make sure it has been taken care of and has a service history, particularly the cam belts.
