Although this is a great idea, the problem with implementing it wouldn't be with Ducati, or even at the dealer level. The problem would be with the DMV. Each bike/car comes from the factory with a certificate of origin with the color listed on it. It is illegial for it not to.

I have heard of dealers swapping out body work on different bikes in the past and while it may be ok to do on an occasional basis, doing it every day would raise some red flags. Getting it by the DMV probably would be all that difficult but imagine explaining it to your local law enforcement officer when you get puller over and the color on the registration doesn't match the color of the bike.



i dont buy that...
what about repaints?

i think that's not true. people repaint their cars and bikes all the time and you dont have to register that change.

for that matter DNA could either make black or red the color depending on the frame. their problem solved.

Yes people repaint their cars/bikes all the time, but not every time. If Ducati were to do this, what percent of the bikes would leave the showroom in the same color as the one listed on the certificate of origin? The dealers/DNA are not the one's printing the c.o. it has to be done at the factory.

Does it say on the Certificate of Origin the colour?


As far as I know, I've only ever seen it on a registration.

It does....

Yes, the color is listed on the the c.o. Think of the certificate of origin as the title. Which is basically what it is.

I have no less than five titles to various vehicles sitting on my desk. Not a one of them lists the colour.

I agree... to disclosing the frame color on the documents. These are naked bikes after all. Make the color kit an "upgrade" ... They do not even need to charge for it.

You do realize you're talking about Ducati, right?

I think what he meant was the bike comes with no kit on it as part of the VIN and CoO process and then you get your choice of color kit as a 'free' upgrade to avoid the color issue on the paperwork.

to me like i said before the paperwork should reflect the frame color since that's the only thing on the bike you can't change (easily).
