That way no "surprises" involved, you'll know going in whether a Yamaha, Zuk or Kawasaki would be a better choice for you.
There are those that bitch about extreme Ducati dealer service fees.....but made no effort in finding that info out BEFORE buying the bike.

lol well its a much a pipe dream at the moment as it is a plan but I will heed that advice and research before hand for sure. I don't pay anyone to do my service, on any of my vehicles, unless I absolutely have to. There has been very very few things I have not done myself successfully - mostly due to specialty equipment (air conditioning, alignment, etc). But you make a valid point
