Latest "news"
Dealer has ordered a total of 9 bikes (various models) from Ducati UK,
Checked this morning and the dealer is showing NO bikes allocated for delivery from Ducati UK ????
Figure that one out !
It's now become a big fu**ing JOKE - ****ed off is an understatement !

Virtual...thats a bummer mate, all that bull about your bike delivery...not good.
I was told end of May, now August. Mine maybe up for grabs if you are interested, cos I've signed a deal which takes me away for 3 years from the UK, if not ill keep it unregistered til i get home.

Kingfisher....are they as good as ? Im test riding one shortly and the dealer is excellent, J&L in carlisle...

did it come with a paddock stand ??

Hi,

Its a fantastic bike and i love it, it does have niggles though.
Mine didn't come with anything, a bit poor on Ducatis behalf considering it costs £20,000.
The suspension is the main problem for me, the spring is very hard on the rear shock, which ever setting i have it in it's still very hard. !!
Still need to faff about with it, some guys have put new springs in to soften it up.

Im pretty sure that I saw one on the way home from work yesterday but I could have been imagining it.

My 'S' is supposed to be arriving in July but Im not over confident of that given everyones experience so far.
