2 yrs or 12,000. Belts are made much better now and I've heard of people stretching it out, but for the first time I would rather play safe than sorry. $300, is that just for labor? If so add $200 to that for the belts for a grand total of $500+. Do your own and you'll save big. Access to the timing belts is easy on the Testastretta, on my 999 all I had to do was remove the horn bracket and the breather tube. The Desmoquattro is really cluttered and the battery is on that side. There is plenty of discussion regarding belt R&R, check here and especially Ducati.ms.
