That's my Mille on the right, looks pretty, but a top heavy pile of poo in the corners - handles worse than my 440 BHP Haybusa
On here, yes - we were all riding 180 BHP bikes in 1980 with 120 section rear tyres and single pot breaks, you young uns - don't know you're born
Mines a gen 1. I ride a 600RR which is arguably one of the best handling bikes out there and I don't feel short changed on the Mille. 60 profile rear and some suspension tweeks and there sorted.
I was knocked unconscious but don't remember it hurting. My face and body took a bit of a beating though. I'm pretty sure I was going for a shag. Lol my hairdresser was in with me
If you look closely the roof is still on. Lol But anyway back to ducatis. What's the weak points? The hydraulic clutch ok or is it a nightmare like the Mille?
On the Mille you just needed a later oil jet fitting in the LH gear box case? Certainly on the Gen 2 ones anyway - fixed my gear engagement issues. Unless you mean the hydraulics - mine is fine now I've replaced the jet. Never heard of issues with the hydraulic clutch on a Ducati apart from the stiffness. I saw the squished roof yes - just reference to your hairdresser - hope they were OK too - it's a mess!
I've had all sorts of clutch issues on rsv but it's a 2000 and prone to it. Still not 100% and changed every part on it. Lol Yeah girl is ok and got a good pay out. Still got to shag her as well. Lol People say rsv clutch is heavy but doesn't bother me once I'm rolling I clutch less up shift.
Good I'm not one of these people who think a bike is un rideable without ABS. Do 1198 have a slipper clutch?
Also is an s worth it over standard 1198 if I was to get suspension sorted properly? I mean are they proper ohlins or just stamped stuff?
I went with the showa (basic model) better value for money as just as good on the road. Only thing I would like would be traction control for the track as a safety measure.
