I think, to be fair, it isn't ALL the dealers fault ?? (said with tongue in cheek) The rep came down to the dealers and managed to sort things out, to a degree ? I'm convinced (perhaps wrongly) that the bigger dealers have a bit more "clout" in the pecking order ? that could be why the early "S"s have gone that way ??? (only my guess mind) Dealer (with the Ducati rep stood beside him) says 2nd week in June, I took the demo out this afternoon, 'kin 'ell - what a bit of kit ! Very nimble, it does lack the initial "uumph" from low down that the 1098 gives, but - when it gets going - it flies, quick shifter responds better in "track" mode, though it takes a bit of getting used to - the habit of backing the trottle off to change up can sit you forward a bit, and hurt your ******** when going down the box ! ! but - practice will cure that ? As you can tell - all is forgiven, IT IS/WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT If only I was blessed with patience ! |
