| Jap bikes are just too sanitised and easy to ride. Just get on and wind it up and off you go at warp factor 10. Ducati's need to be ridden and understood to get the best of them or even to just potter about.
Lynn passed her test on a GS500. The first time she rode her Monster was around the car park at Carsington. She rode 100 yards, came back and said "thats lumpy!!" She stuck with it though and its now paying off. People turn around and look as we ride past. If the bikes are parked up then there are always people stopping to look at them and wanting to chat. I never had that happen with the jap bikes i've owned and our Ducati's are nothing special. |
