I had a 2000 M750. 20,000 trouble free miles. Had the valves done every 6k, local shop could do it in 2hrs, $125 plus shims. Did the belts myself at 12k, took me 20min. Changed the oil every three. Put a new chain and sprokets on. Ate a few spark plugs, but I kept it jetted rich. Wore out a few sets of tires. Cleaned the K&N when I changed the oil. Put a set of brake pad in, maybe $30 a caliper. I've owned 1 ducati, 1 triumph, 2 beemers, 1 Norton, and three hondas. The ducati was as reliable as any of the Hondas, and more reliable than the triumph and airhead Beemer, maybe not quite as reliable as the oilhead beamer. I would bother to compare it to an old Norton.
