Test ride of the DVT Multi today. OMFG!! What an engine, incredible stability and handling. An improvement in the bike all round even if I think the original looks better. But the performance blew my mind. Did a p/x deal there and then. Picking it up 2 weeks on Friday. Can't wait. The king is dead, long live the king!!!
2 week delivery and a delivery date? Bugger. That's better than some guys who ordered it as soon as they were taking orders! Good on ya
We'll it was my turn to try the Dvt, can only echo everybody else's thoughts. What's not to like, I was gob smacked by the difference between this and my 11 s sport. How much are people paying for an S Touring? My dealers price is £16685 on the road, is this correct
Ok thanks, just wanted to make sure. Have been offered £8000 part ex for my 2011 S sport with 18k. Thought this sound a decent deal
What are you actually gaining for your £9k? A smoother engine, slightly fresher looking bike, anything else? I can see me running my bike for 50-60k miles as that will take me many years as I can't really see the benefit at the moment of changing. I know it's nice to have the latest model but wow, the depreciations a killer isn't it? If anything, I'd wait a year and pick up a 15 bike for £13k if I was determined to change that much. Just saying....
I had exactly the same thoughts. I went in for a service and mot and actually said to the salesman I'm thinking of going back on a sports bike after my holiday. Anyway, took the DVT for a spin and.......... I need one in my life
I am thinking of one, and downgrading to the base model from skyhook, simply so I can manage feet down better. 6k bath but cheaper than having leg extenders...
There are those who will justify...........There are those who will buy. sigh. Guess who I am. Cant wait.
waiting for the guys to come back re my part ex then its just a case of waiting for the stock bikes to arrive. Have got my name against a white S they have coming in about 6-8wks from now. Didnt opt for a test ride as rode last years S Touring and nearly bought that. Seems I was right to listen to that little voice in my head saying wait a while....pew glad i did. Sat on it at Excel and that was enought for me. It will be my first Ducati having been on mostly GS's recently. They've come and gone and I'm sure i won't be looking back once the mutley is in my garage.......can't wait.
I have a 2012 Ohlins bike and have never ridden a Skyhook of any description. The base model DVT I did ride was running in and I was limiting it to 6000rpm but the thing about the DVT is that it is just more civilised, in a very nice way and the ride on the non Skyhook suspension was perfectly acceptable. Not rushing out to buy just now but I might next year.
