Pete, you'll probably also find you can now crush house bricks with your left hand
For all us 'normal' people who have ridden Jap bikes with 'proper' clutches then the Duc is a LOT different, and not in a good way.
I'm sure theres some really good reason why Ducati decided to make the bike sound like a tractor and cause RSI for its riders, but I'm buggered if I can think of it !
