1:When Ducati was launched during 2012 auto expo, it was launched with the price tag of 6.99 lac ex showroom but within few days the price was slashed by a lac and now sits at 5.99 lac. So the on road price should ne between 6.50 lacs and 6.75 lacs.
2:You can read the first ride at Zigwheels.

3:Coming to waiting period, the Ducati dealer in india is screwing up. There are around 85 bookings done for this bike, but hardly any deliveries has been done.And now, as Audi has taken over, i think because of transition, it will take more time, as the Audi officials and the owner of Precision motors(they run Ducati Mumbai and Porsche) have some bad relations.
4:As per my source,there would be one new Ducati showroom opening up in somewhere North, not sure with the exact place.

Thank you for the on road estimate and the review. Do you think by November the deliveries will all be made and by then will the waiting period be shorter. When you go to ducatis website they do show a dealership in Delhi but I heard that closed any confirmation on that? Because if the waiting period will be shorter by the end of this year then I dont have to book right now but if its longer its better for me to book sooner.

Well, to be honest, the way dealer is behaving here, i am sure the scene wont change till this year end.
There is a big scene thats going between Precision Motors Director and Ducati which i dont want to mention here.
You should hear some big news about Ducati India dealer and Audi in coming months.
My suggestion wait for few more months and then decide.
