I had a 900ssie for a couple of years, did the belts watching a youtube vid....pretty easy as long as you make some reference marks.
The valves on mine never needed adjusting in the 20 000 km I had it but taking the valve covers off and checking them is easy enough....I had to drop off the shock to take the rear one off.
I have a bevel too and so far since a rebuild in 1999 its only needed checking.
My Bosch ignition is 34 years old and the wiring between the pickups and igniters cracks from the heat of the motor inside the clutch cover and perishes outside the case.
I would say a Ducati is less maintenance than a Commando.
Ducati prices are low even here in NZ....probably due to over supply......I preferred when people said a Du what eeee?.......
Registration here has killed multiple bike ownership, twice as much as a car....but that covers no blame injury rehab as we can't sue.
