hi simon

When i was running the bp and my 996s having used the bp for trackdays changed the steering head angle where as leaving the s standard, i much prefered riding the Bp on the road in comparison to the s, streering BLaH BLaH,

The biggest down point is the lack of turning circle which is really noticable.

I did not encounter any significant stability problems, and those I did, i managed to ride through them, however the BP was running on rensports at the time which are a fairly stable tyre, not sure how much differance other tyres may make.

there are so many variables which need to be considered for the road, perhaps any desired handaling effects can be produced by having the bike set up correctly to achieve what you are seeking, ie ride hight and suspension settings.

arent ducatis wonderfull, the more you look into them, and become involved, the more complex they seem.

For me the limiting turn circle is not bearable on the road permanantly, but Id definatley use the steeper angle every time on track.

so the next thing will be the ohlins rear then ????

regards Bungi
