GALFER USA ZDM Scrambler ICON up FOR SALE

Hey guys,

Selling our ZDM (Italian Made) Scrambler Icon. Completely stock...was a media bike and we used it to R&D proper brake line lengths and rotor carrier offset sizes.

If you're in Southern California, or willing to pay for shipping, this bike is for sale.

Price: $9950 (Comes with Extended Warranty, all original manuals, and tool kit.)

This is a very fair price considering its one of a very small number of Italian Only Made bikes and it comes with the Extended Warranty. A new Icon with Tax, Reg, and Ext. War. would be over $10,000 and that's for a Thai made bike. The bike does have just over 1000 mi and had its first Ducati service before we took delivery so its ready to go.

We'll also be willing to install Galfer USA Stainless Steel brake lines for free. You can even pick the hose and fitting color.

If you're interested, please email us at [email protected]

I am wondering why you are making such a big deal on the origin of the bike?

Not that the Thai bikes are poorly built, I would think that an Italian bike made in Italy would have some added value over one that isn't, especially seeing as how there were a very limited run of these bikes made for the press launch.

If you're a collector, down the road these will hold more value than the mass produced bikes made outside of Italy.

For example...would you buy a Ferrari made in any other country than Italy?...Perhaps if it were a good deal and a great car but the Ferrari made in Italy holds more value...hence the country of origin.

Besides, this bike is still cheaper than a new bike here in the states with taxes, registration, and an extended warranty.

This is a chance to own something unique and different than the rest.

Fair enough and yes having a Ducati built in Italy does feel kind of right :)

I don't want to be a dick, but American made cars are made of their own fair share of imported parts and material. In a global economy only saps believe this stuff. My understanding is warranty claims dropped after the outsourcing of production. My Italian made 1199S has had 3 dashes, 1 fork seal replacement, and both valve covers replaced under warranty that still continue to leak.

Putting an Italy made Scrambler higher than a Thai made one is just marketing blabla. It isn't and wont be worth more than the others. They are both mass produced bikes. There are thousands and thousands of both, not a "very small" number. Considering this, I'd say the offered price can't be taken seriously. Who wants to save something like $50-$100 by getting a second hand bike? That's a 1% discount from retail. A bike usually loses at least 10% the moment it leaves the showroom.

Agreed. It's like this post here saying that all the 2015 Scrambler's are "collector's edition" http://www.ducatiscramblerforum.com...es-sale/16769-ducati-icon-sale-low-miles.html. No they're not collector's edition bikes - they're mass produced and have nothing special about them to set them apart. Likewise, if a bike is from Italy or Thailand it means virtually nothing to the value of the bike. Of course we can "let the market decide" if there should be a premium placed, but most would agree there shouldn't be.

Also this ad should be placed in the classifieds not the general discussion.

Fair enough...

Please consider...

-There were not "1000's" mass produced for the press launch (Here in the US at least). To my knowledge less than 500.
-Was suggesting it might be valuable to a collector...as pointed out...the market will determine.
-Marketing blabla perhaps but this is still around $1000 cheaper (10%) than you could get from a dealer in the US as a result of the Ext. Warranty. (Transferable)
-Finally, we don't need it anymore as we have to make room for additional models set for R&D. If we kept every bike we like, we'd need another warehouse :)

I'll repost in the classified...sorry for the inconvenience and the insight.
