Consumer Description
I PURCHASED A '08 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC SPORT 1000 IN APRIL 2009. IT WAS USED WITH 1,200 MILES ON IT. WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASE THE GAS TANK "SPREAD". THIS MEANS THE PLASTIC GAS TANK DISTORTED IT'S SHAPE ENOUGH TO COME COMPLETELY OFF IT'S MOUNT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GAS TANK. DUCATI IS REPLACING THIS TANK WITH AN EXACT DUPLICATE. SINCE THE REPLACEMENT TANK IS THE SAME MATERIAL AS THE ORIGINAL, I EXPECT THE "SPREADING " PROBLEM TO RE-OCCUR. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE MATERIAL USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GAS TANK. DUCATI IS GIVING US DEFECTIVE TANKS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TANKS ON THE BIKES. *TR
