Lovely bike
I take it your tyres are new
Anything that you’d change it for ?
6200 miles without fault or failure
Makes me look a better and faster rider than I am
I love this bike so much I may bake her a cake to celebrate
Boring question… it is it comfy? Range between bum rest?
I have no doubt whatsoever that that is one brilliant motorbike. BUT, that exhaust....
Probably just me....
Genuinely yes it is comfy which may be surprising
The seat is wonderful and I have done 400 mile days without issue but of course you have to sop every 100 miles to add fuel !
She does like a drink and when being worked as hard as I dare it is in the low 30s MPG wise but steady away ( which is still pretty quick ( it does not know how to go slowly )) low 40s
Another criticism is no fuel gauge just a light that comes on at about 80 miles and a new trip saying how far since the light came on
16L tank and even when I have been on the point of real panic 14L fills it so a bit left but that might be fuel that cant be used so to speak
IMO Ducati sacrificed some things like a fuel gauge so it can have beautiful billet Ali side stand
Thanks Rick, missed your reply
Lovely looking bike. Now you tell me it’s comfy too I do enjoy a tour, but putting it in a van and getting it out when I reach the Dolonpmites / Pyrenees/ Scotland is making sense even if it seem like cheating.
That fuel economy is salty though
