Good day, I am not attempting to be a jerk here however someone really needs to look into the ducati 1299s, 1299, 1199 and other ducatis. I just purchased a brand new ducati with 1 mile on it and the motorcycle cuts of during low speed turns and can cause a serious enjury to someone or realty. I figured it was just my bike so I was going to take it back to ducati due to the fact I have the extended warranty and paid 25k for this bike. I looked online and found many other owners have the same issue and it's a common...

issue ducati owners have had no help with from safety companies or dealerships. Like I said I'm not looking for a pay day or trying to be a jerk I'm simply writing this so I can save someone's mother, father, dautheter or son from being killed. The bike turns off even when the clutch is fully pulled in. It's wild just look into it please.
Motorcycle will not shift down from 3rd to 1st gear. Also in a stopping situation motorcycle is hard to get from 2nd to 1st gear or to find neutral. *Tr
I currently have a engine leak on my ducati motorcycle. I was riding and noticed a burnt oil smell. I pulled over and noticed a leak on left side casing. I took to ducati to report and repair. Ducati is still taking alot of time to make a choice on what to do. Still isn't repaired and now leak has gotten worse and got on my tires and almost crashed. It is a known problem buy ducati and still not making any attempt to fix in a speedy manor. I am worried that is a newer rider without my years of experience...

gets same issue it could be a major incident. My display which tells engine temp, speed and rpm's is inop and falling apart. It not only is unsafe to ride but unable to maintain and ride with proper road speeds. This again is a known issue with ducati. This display issue will now be my fourth display. The forks failed on my bike and almost crashed because the dampening portion of the forks failed and was almost unable to control. Again the only reason for not crashing and getting injured was my years of riding experience. These are not the only issues with this bike, but issues that to me are a huge safety matter. Thank you for your time and concern into these matters. *Tr
After a year of various recalls, I had a major oil leak from the engine and took it to the dealership and am still waiting for a resolution. It is a dangerous vehicle to drive. *Tr
While driving in traffic at approximate 30-35 mph the engine on my 2012 ducati 1199 motorcycle suddenly died. I was able to coast off the side of the road onto the grass median. The engine was able to be started normally with one attempt using the starter after I was stopped. There were no other secondary indications. Outside air temp. Was approximately 90 degrees fahrenheit. Engine temp.180-187 Degrees f. I had just come off of a 30 mile ride on country roads and had normal indications during the ride. The engine...

operated normally on the remainder of the ride home. Since this occurrence there have been several instances where the engine shutdown unexpectedly while I was downshifting preparing to stop at a traffic light or for traffic ahead. The common factors have been downshifting at speeds between 40-20 mph with the clutch engaged. In each case I was able to start the engine again after coming to a complete stop using the starter. This also happened to me once at night , lights out in the dark stopped at a major hi-way intersection. The last time it happened I was mentally more prepared for it. I insured the bike was in gear released the clutch and the engine started back. I have reported these events as far back as june 2012 to my local dealer and as of this report date have not received any response from the manufacture regarding this problem. I checked on ducati ms.Org a forum where other ducati owners discuss ducati motorcycles and discovered at least one other 1199 panigale owner had encountered the same problem. *Tr
