That’s a beauty skid , a keeper no less !
Go on then what and on what basis please? As a former owner I'd like to think I had some knowledge of what I brought and the Duke specialist who serviced it who passed that on.
My pal had the same bike with carbon cans and his started to break down over time. Is it a myth maybe I did say apparently.
Post '97 electrics is not right - bad / unmaintained earths can be a problem on all older bikes, condition is key. Also the igniter units and crank position / timing sensor are weak spots on all years, neutral switches can be problematic. It pays to pay attention to these areas. Bad earths also cause poor lighting.
Carbon cans are absolutely fine, my '92 900ss still has it's original Termis, as does my '94 900sl
You shouldn't rely on 45 degrees of twist but instead use either a belt tensioning tool or a harmonic tester
Standard equipment? What standard equipment would that be then? Temp gauge? Fuel gauge? You get a seat and handlebars and a great motor and chassis and that's about it.
Ducati vs. GS is subjective but as an only / daily bike I'd choose a GS, and this is coming from an absolute Ducati / v-twin devotee...
A lot of well-meaning claptrap is talked about Ducatis, apologies if I came over a bit "GS:er" with my condescending and aggressive response... I'm clearly settling in here... ;-)

Mainly stuff like decent suspension that is fully adjustable front and rear. For bikes of that age it was my opinion that running gear was of a better quality than similar Japanese bikes and not in house made.
Day to day yes GS wins hands down but as a toy for sunny days Ducati please.
