What's the general opinion/action regarding exhaust systems? Surely we're not leaving them standard? Are we??
Genuinely surprised by that result but not going to rush out and buy one. All 7 bikes have the same issue though, anyone with a full license can go and buy one. Andy
I wish someone will try an under seat twin SC Project one day here. I really want to know how much db it makes
The price of the akrapovic is the biggest issue. It’s the only one that doesn’t effect warranty. I also don’t mind the stock exhaust.
There are some rather smart looking replacements now. Junking the lardy euro 5/6 whatever it is now, was the first thing I did.
I always take these reviews with a pinch of salt, there was no mention of cost which to me has to play a bearing on these reviews... You can buy 2 GSX-R1000's for the price of the SP and have change, or 2 ZX-10R's and have more change BMW is £31K Yam R1M £24K Honda is £23.5K Aprilia is £23K I think the SP is a cracking bike, but is it actually twice as good as it's rivals?
It’s not the cost, it is if you can’t afford but if you can afford it it’s a bike that’s something that little bit special. It’s like buying a quality car over a very good mainstream car, it’s that feel good factor of something special to cherish and not just a run around
Initial price is half the story. It’s the residual value that’s important. With that you can work the depreciation curve. The Ducati will have best RV out of them all making the initial cost much more bearable.
If it comes to pass there are only 400-600 produced, they'll be pretty darn rare. And therefore hold their dough very well indeed.
Doesn't mention any of that in the test, i.e. depreciation. Of course it's going to be the best bike it's twice as expensive as some of the others in the test, it would be like having a supercar test and at one end there's a Ferrari and at the other a fibreglass Lotus, both supercars but which one would you expect to come out on top? As I said I think the SP is a cracking bike, I just don't think they're comparing apples with apples they would have been better using a standard S to bring it somewhere in line with the upper end of the field cost wise.
not sure how to find out the exact number but so far online and social media mine is the highest number I’ve seen so far.
Bike arrived today. Couple accessories missing due to being on back order. Bike goes for full xpel ppf on Tuesday then when I get it back I should be finished the 10 days isolation and free to enjoy it. Already planned a trip over to applecross on the 1st.
