Getting Ducati 1260s

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Norton, Jan 30, 2022.

  1. I'm buying a used Ducati 1260 with my son
    We have a few bikes and have had a Monster S4 for 15 years
    I've yet to ride one but I am going for a test ride when weather gets a bit better
    I have a question too ask the forum members
    I'm 62 and to be honest feel a bit old to be climbing on a bike like this lols
    So the question is
    Are they easy to ride and move about
    Looking forward to chats and lots of advice
    All the best
     
  2. Welcome. What model 1260S? Multistrada? Diavel?
     
  3. Hi,Thank you for the welcome
    Its going to be a diavel
     
  4. Welcome to the forum.:)
     
  5. In which case you are definitely not too old to be riding a bike like this :upyeah:

  6. Age is only a number, attitude is the key. Welcome to the forum. The Diavel is a very capable bike but time spent on getting the suspension right is key. Andy
     
  7. Welcome and enjoy
     
  8. As above, as its nothing but a number! Diavel 1260 is an awesome bike. I've got a 2021 Diavel 1260S with Termigioni system, love it to bits, but that said I maybe considering selling this beauty as I change my bikes more than my underpants :joy:. I'm considering selling this baby and ordering a Streetfighter V2.

    I was amazed at how easy it was to ride and handles lovely. I found it just rolled into bends and roundabouts, I thought it was going to be hardwork, but was amazed how easy it was to ride.
     
  9. yup, i did couple of track days on mine years back :cool:
