Is anyone here dealing with Fraser Motorcycles in Sydney? I have my S ordered through them from last Nov, don't have a firm delivery date yet, but should hopefully be soon. Just curious for any customer comments on them, I have not dealt with them before.
By the way on insurance my best so far is QBE - $1,700 (I am 40, full no claims bonus in Eastern Suburbs). Shannons quoted me $1,800. Have not tried NRMA. Any other suggestions for other providers?

Don't even get me started on those f*^ken ......s.
Read thread "Australian delivery - 10 May" and you'll have a good idea.

I put my money down in jan also.
I'm dealing with Fraser Sydney and put my deposit roughly the same time. My bike is locked in and hand over for me is Thursday 24th May. They Mentioned to me they have about 30 bikes and people who have ordered DP parts and wanted them fitted are getting bumped back as they want to get the bikes out quick.
Just spoke to David at Sydney Dyno, His asking $400 +filter and Oil. Will take about a day to run it in. He'll pick the bike up in his van and take it to his Dyno. Im considering it, what do you the rest of you guys think of Dyno run ins?

That sounds reasonable to me.
I'm guessing a Ducati dealer would charge you almost as much for an oil/filter change anyway.
Considering the time on the dyno + oil change + pick up, that sounds good to me.
I'm a little worried about warranty though, if / when Ducati plug the bike in and see it was not run-in anything close to "by the book"
What you do think?

Interesting. Did he say what steps were involved? i.e. how we would do it?
This thread is pretty good on the break in topic.

Honestly, it's not all that easy to manage a good street break in if you live inner city - gotta basically plan a 1000k's in the country over maybe a weekend or two. And even in country there it is tough to really work through the gears like you should without spending lots of time in lower gears and dawdling through traffic and townships. Certainly no way you can really do it inner city, you'll just get stuck in traffic.
That's the main reason I am considering leaving it to a Dyno shop.
There is a wide range of views on this topic, and little fact, as far as I can see. Room for lots of myth and confusion about what really happens to the engine at the factory, and what needs to happen once delivered.
I don't think I am a total ....., but with my few brain cells I just can't seem to find a way of really drilling down to FACT as to whether it is beneficial to do a dyno break in versus a street break in. All my googling throws up lots of "belief" and little fact.
Thoughts on a postcard please? Evidence?
