you are right. i was hoping to get off it and say it was shite,but i love it!!!
the handling the power,even the noise!! thought it would feel alot slower..more like a 600..
but the power was good......but for me the best thing about it
was it felt like a real race bike!!!!Mmmmmmmmmmm
the only thing i would change,is that clutch, i couldnt live with that on the road!!!
will wait till crusty sorted out his flat spot, then will see what that is like!!

Clutch in what sense ? too heavy or too grabby because of the slipper ?
Both can be sorted fairly easy... Crusts is nice in a clutch context and doesn't really need to be blipped on the way down too much.... i imagine if cracking on a bit it would, but as it stands on road stuff, it's fine.
Heavyness of it can be sorted easily with a Slave cylinder which makes the lever a lot easier... see Crusts Monster for that one... much nicer.

nothing wrong with all that,it was only the pulling away that i didnt like,having to keep it below 2.5k!!!

Glad that there might be another Ducati owner here soon but please keep an eye on the language.
Not a problem for adults but minors are allowed to view general pages.
