Ducati has entered the pre-owned bike market in India through the Ducati Approved program that offers pre-owned Ducati motorcycles that go through quality and performance checks. Qualified Ducati Service technicians select and inspect every bike, certifying its history. Only a bike less than 5 years old, with a certified mileage lower than 50,000 km and that has passed 35 rigorous technical checks can be certified as Ducati Approved.
