  1. Hello,

    New here...new to Ducati...and back biking after 10yrs away. :D

    Picked up this 959. Took it for it's first spin last night. It's understandably very different to the inline fours I've always had but first impressions are great! I'm guessing/hoping the slow speed maneuvers will just take a bit of getting used to (it's all a bit lumpy down there o_O). Feels like a great bike once it's well on the move.

    Hoping to learn more about this model and Ducati in general on here.

    Based in central Scotland and hope to meet some of you along the road.

  5. Nice bar end mirrors, so much better than the big stalks Ducati insist on with the Pani’s. Welcome & enjoy
