| I live on the Isle of Man, I went to the Ducati dealership to gain a bit more info on the bike and it was there I was told there was no rev limiter, which I thought odd for a road bike.
I've always been cautious of damaging my bikes ever since I started 11 years ago, this went away as I got onto four strokes and the build quality got better. Now I'm on a Ducati I guess I'm more nervous of doing damage again, more so as I have come from owning an 04 R1 and I feel I have to rev this thing harder to get the sort of performance I want from it.
I'm not the fastest of riders but I do like to go quick in certain stretches of road and so as I have progressively increased in bike capacity I've found I've not had to try as hard, now getting the Duke for all I love it for everything it does I do feel its performance is down a bit but I'm sure its something I can get used to.
Just out of interest what is it about the 748 that people love about it over and above other bikes and would you own one instead of a top of the range jap bike such as the R1?  |
