  1. Should be with dealers by the end of February. Time for a test ride when the sun is shining :)
     
  2. I'm going to have to take one out for a play this year
     
  3. it would be nice to test ride my own!
     
  4. Hmm... All this talk of riding aids, improved road manners, electronics makes me worry Ducati will become Audified. Make no mistake I'm sure it'll be a beast but will all these things lead to dullness and bikes being built so any idiot can ride one without ending up in a box on the first outing?. If anyone saw tonight's Top Gear look what they said about the new Lamborghini - it's lost what the older Lambo's had!. Oh and it happens to be owned by Audi, spot the connection?.

  5. who cares, my 1199 will see me out ;)
     
  6. I don't in all honesty think we would be able (or even allowed?) to ride 200bhp road bikes without electronic aids.
     
  7. Eh? Was thinking of putting my 440BHP bike on the road this year, because I'm allowing myself :)

  9. Looks more stable than the 1199 in that vid.
     
  10. It doesn't hang around does it! And you're right, it does seem very stable. Want that one...

  11. that goes like my 1199 that does.
     
  12. I find it really amusing that the TC light flashes basically as soon as he's on the gas at the apex of each corner...

    I think that it would take some amount of skill (and a giant pair of man-melons) to ride this without any traction control on!
     
  13. Looks like the clock are fucked already - temps gauge is having a dickey fit :)
     
  14. I can't tell if you are joking sometimes dude, it's lean angle isn't it?

  16. 1 min 58 sec ? don't know how that compares at that circuit for a lap time,,
     
  17. 1 42 think is a wsb time, 16 secs slower,
     
  18. The quickest guys when i went there were just under 2 minutes on fully sorted trackday bikes. So for a road bike in January its pretty good.

    Stick it on slicks on a warmer day and it would be a damn sight faster...
