Looks superb,

Not sure about the padding on the seat though..... sore arse after a few minutes.

Saying that if i sat on it i would not need the seat, the whole **** end would be wedged you know where

Well, I put some fuel in and it started first time and sounds great, but, it just revs up and goes nowhere as if it was in neutral, does anyone know anything about these or does it sound like the automatic clutch needs setting up ?

Mood: going for a ride...
Maybe the forward motion as well as the noise is what the other £1495 is for ?


Hope you get it going soon , good luck

Well got it set up and even though i only tried it in the street it is stupid fast !
You have to rev it to 8000rpm to take off but it revs to 15000rpm !! feels like 150 mph
My only problem is that i got it for my son to learn on but it is a little bit bigger than the normal mini moto and he cannot touch the ground very well plus it is way too fast for him so i am going to sell it, brand new, unused except for the run in the street and still with the box it came in and get a smaller one for my son to use.
This cost me £550 plus £50 delivery plus £15 for the ducati stickers, If anyone is interested £525 delivered or £495 if you pick it up which would be easier.

you can adjust the clutch so it doesnt have to be reved so high. let me know if you have got rid of it cos my mates after one and sounds cheap.
