Well after a few months of enjoying the comments and people on this forum as well as two demo rides as a precursor to buying this bike I went to dealer yesterday and decided to stop procrastinating and buy the sucker! As I signed the last paper a storm rolled in.
I asked them if they wouldn't mind meeting me this morning at 10 am so I can pick her up.They said yes.
A special thanks to my wife for being super cool and understanding me and my
passion.
1st Ducati
Bought the non ABS S. Gorgeous day today for the 11 mile ride home.
Getting used to the riding position is the most challenging. Im used to the R1 which is slightly more upright.The engine was smooth and not very "Vtwinish" IMO
Seat was fine.Mirrors suck but better than nothing.Low rev bogging is new to me as well. R1 has perfect fueling at any rpm.
Exhaust note was loud which I like. Felt the infamous under seat heat which I had with the R1 but on the R1 a few mods cured that.
This being the Hottest time of year down here I look foward to the cooler weather as is the norm for all sportbike riders down here.
Overall a great product that feels well made. A happy customer-Thank you Ducati job well done.
