Hello! Just to see prices around, I have asked in Spain!

12000 km - around 250€
24000 km - around 750€
36000 km - around 250€
48000 km - around 750€

Tyres not included, nor extra materials - that is around an idea. More ideas, if there are any Ducati owners?

That's not bad depending on how much you ride your 959. You'll be performing maintenance around once per year. I think average KM is around 10k a year.

You can do the 250€ basic maintenance yourself; oil change, lubing up the chain, etc. Not sure if there's a specific one for the 959 but you should be able to find maintenance charts online showing you what the mechanics look at when you bring it in.
This is Ducati's version of the chart for 2 valve bikes just to give you a general idea.

Its the valves that really take the piss out of your wallet. Depends though, I've been reading that Ducati has gotten much better with keeping them in tolerance from the days of 848

Valve adjustments? It's not something I'm confident enough to do so that's something I'll leave for the 24000 km and 48000 km maintenance period.

Valve adjustments are easy on regular valves. It's the desmo valves that cause the issues. Not sure about the newer models, but on the old ones you essentially needed to take the whole top of the bike apart.

It's just time/labor intensive from what my buddy was telling me.
