Her indoors would kill me!

Chef 17-Nov-2006 19:04

I really like it

& will buy one...............in 2/3 years

Unless I get a monster bonus/lotto win!

Dickie - you got any jobs going in the city???

I am undecided !

I like the front, tail and side plastics but the swinging arm looks monsterous in the pictures ( Might look better in the flesh ), that massive exhaust shield looks awful and I personally think the exhausts were only designed like that to please the old 916 brigade of which I was one of, a few years ago. They remind me of the awful exhausts strapped to the side of the ZX10 R, surely they could have hidden them a little like the desmosedici instead of using an old design. They do look much better in their Termignoni guise though.

Would I buy one, hmm, probably and may very well might, but the exhausts and that leg guard would be straight off.

Nice 749R anyone ? ( Over £18k spent ! )

but cant order without knowing if I'll be able to touch the ground happily, and I do like to get both feet at least on tippytoes down:borg:

Have been told the seat hight is 820mm but rear ride height is adjustable not that that will make a big difference.... so about 40mm up on the 999 I think

clint 999R 17-Nov-2006 20:22

im more than happy with my 999r but if i was thinking about a new un i wouldent bother yet i would wait till ducati are ready to enter sbk with it because they could well do some changes and then you could well have a new old bike. plus i have allways like ducati because they are unique not sure they have done that this time bit mv jap to me.

I'm sure it will grow on me in time,but right now I'll be keeping my 999S.


So this is a not yet then KeefyB:D ..................if you don't end up buying one some time then Ducati is in the deep brown smelly stuff:lol:

I can't think of many other people who have bought successive generations of Ducati over many, many years, I guess if you were as old as Monty you would have had every Model (motorcyclewise:) )

I'm still on the fence as it were until I see one for real.

Ray.

I have taken a multi on test JPM, and had to 'wriggle' to touch down on one side:borg:
If I 'had' to ride one again, it would only be to help a mate out, as I would not feel happy in having to do a 'shuffle forwards, wiggle to the left' each time I had to come to a complete halt - and making sure that there wasnt too much of a camber at the side too!:o
I did try & ride when doing slow speeds like I was on a crosser;) but it was a tad too heavy to bounce at traffic lights etc.

The 07 Multi is a tad taller (I understand:confused: ) than previous models - can someone confirm that?

Have also 'stolen' a 999 back when they 1st came out, and again ride height was an issue for the 'stop-start' bits

C, going off to buy a strengthned mini-moto:p
