It's happened again, impulse buying at it's best (I have absolutely no willpower) Popped into a dealership last Saturday as I was passing to look at a Multistrada 1260 with a view to buying one in the future. Then I started a search for a new 1200s as they looked good value but all of a sudden, I'm now an owner of a 1200s Pikes Peak which is going to be registered as a 2018 plate Now have 8 weeks to lose a few pounds to fit in my leathers again
Nice - but you do know - its not the S - Pikes Peak has Ohlins Manual Suspension - not Electronic Suspension Congratulations - hope you had a good deal!
Yep I know it has fully adjustable Ohlins suspension and not Skyhook. Anything is going to be more comfortable than my 996s, 30 mins on that and my arse and wrists are shot Thankfully my 150 mile round trip commute is on nice A Roads, so the electronic suspension won't be missed hopefully Skyhook is something new to look forward too when I change in the future, when there's hopefully deals on the new 1260's
might be worth a read when you have a few moments https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/£40-00-ohlins.55800/
new year new bike good for you, I am horrendous as well so you are not alone, I love buying and if in the position always do in dealers I just cant help myself either, missus doesnt moan though she enjoys the benefits of my lack of willpower
Last 2 times I went she got a boxster than an SL, keeps her happy though ! and then she can't complain when I turn up with another thing as per the norm!
I suffer from the same syndrome... now i'm 8 (possibly 9) motorcycles in and 10 stupid expensive bicycles
The big question is, can I wear my leathers riding a Multistrada or do I need to invest in something a little less racey? Though I didn't realise when I bought them that the colours were going to match a Pikes Peak
I’m quite lucky my little lady is worse than me 3 times at on yer bike Go for a pair of gloves - came out with GSXR Sausage bap from the van - she came out with 796 Monster New pair of boots - came out to a 1098 SF Love it but worries me every time I take her in a bike shop ! & we only live about 3 miles away
It sounds like you guys need to reign it in a little and think about the state of the planet you live on and try to live a more frugal life... My arse. lol
