yeah I should have been more clear. I have never seen that bike in person. Just saw it on cl for a long time.
But radiator leak is a common problem in all current generation ducati sbk.
it won't have it right now. but just giving you a heads up if it does happen.
I think it is caused by potholes and wheelie drops.

ive done an icbc history report on it and
it does indeed only have one
claim.. the drop that made it a "salvage" title so if i like how it rides im going to buy it most likely. im buying the duc to ride, not to look at, so the few scuffs dont really bother
me.
edit: ok i've looked into the whole radiator issue, they just seem to be really poorly welded and in some cases squirt coolant fluid from the posterior side. i'll take another look at that while the bike's running when i go pick it up tomorrow. thank you again for the heads up!
