Adaptive cruise control....is that really something motorcyclists want? Manufactures seem to be making motorcycles too complicated these days. Have enough trouble changing the bloody clock when the time goes forward/back!! Be interesting to see if this is on all versions, or an extra.
Regardless of all these bloody posts & views. Even once we have confirmed information from the offical disclosure...we need actually journalists who ride bikes too; shits-n-giggles of it all. Its what I posted a few years back, wanting surround warning system for riders. Of plebs changing lanes without either looking or indicating. This 'adaptive cruise-control' as you describe it @J biker is a little bit more clever than that.
I'd definitely like it, although it's a pity it has to come at the cost of having an awful black square front and back. It's a pity that a more attractive solution hasn't come along yet. Having just done a 600 mile trip back from Scotland, I can say for sure that (a) cruise control was invaluable, and (b) adaptive would be even better for when it's busier. That said, I'd kind of like them to also fix the bloody fuel level sensor and heated grips before adding new tech.
Exactly. Just cant work out why manufacturers cannot address the basics before adding more elctrickery gadgets.
I had it fitted on my last Jag, hated it; and during dreadful rain on a motorway at speed, just when it would have come into its own, the car did an emergency stop. Diagnosed as water blocking the radar. Very dangerous....... let’s hope Ducati doesn’t do the same. But after just over 40 years of riding the last thing I want is a gadget to help me follow cars at a safe distance SOD THAT ...... NAIL IT AND BLAST PAST
Look on the bright side - they have fixed the Single sided Swingarms drain hole getting blocked up by going to a standard twin spar arrangement
I infer from previous posts, the “radar” is a cost option, not a standard fitment. Will it break the £30k barrier ? Andy
I should bloody hope not! What's a PP currently? About £20k I think? I've no doubt you could spec one up to £30k, once you've added an obscenely expensive DP exhaust system, and a few other odds and ends.
it looks like 19"... i also see the black painted nose and silver like metal to the sides.so this is probably the enduro.maybe.
You should experience the same emergency stop in a 30+ ton HGV, I would & should actually upload one or two incidents of this happening to me. It's all about the colour or lack of because the renewed patches on tarmac are black imho. And the system sees it as a static vehicle' everything has niggles However the current imaging CC systems are not radar based. So we may see other consequences such as radio/electronic interferrance. Rather than out of the blue emergency stops. I wait to see whats what'
