Example complaints

Brakes: “The rear brake went out twice. I had it fixed under warranty in september of 2013. Now it is out of warranty and the rear brake is out again. The company refuses to fix the issue till I pay out of pocket first. The rear brake pedal travels to the floor with no bite at all. I've read on forums that I am not the first to have this issue.”

NHTSA complaint #10638891, filed 2014-09, 8,000 miles

Electronic stability control: “Riding on level road, cruising about 40 MPH. Front brakes lock and would not release. This pitched me over the handle bars, I.e. Stoppie. The problem was the rear brake pads disappeared and the remaining rear pad backing plate caused over heating of rear rotor and rear master cylinder. Red hot. Boiled fluid. Upon cool down, (me and the Ducati) front brakes released and bike was able to move but without rear brakes. May be a problem with ABS or traction control. Bike is still at shop with replacement of pads, rotor and master. …”

According to an eyewitness he had just passed her about 70-75 MPH, in the third lane from the birm out of 5. Began struggling with control, she said the rear of the bike was shimmying. The loss of control got progessively worse, he crossed three lanes of traffic and crashed into a guardrail rear end first. He was killed instantly. I have since seen many comments about Ducati monster, and mototard 1100's exhibiting what is called high speed wobble at 75 to 80 MPH. …”
