Riding position is very good with plenty of room for taller riders, better than the RSV4, you feel a little more in the bike. Leg room is good. Wider bars feel a little strange and will need getting used to or changing. Seat is very very hard, possibly needs a comfort seat for long road rides, sore arse!!
Gear box and quick shifter are faultless. Engine is very fast revving and responsive, i had it in Race mode. 2nd gear pull on the bars and she's on the back wheel, dip the clutch in 3rd and up she comes. Feels well balanced. Front end felt planted although i did not get any real chance to push in any corners, to much traffic. Feels very flick able, even more so than the V4, feels lighter. Brakes are great, faultless with lots of feel. Vibration is a little more than the V4 but that is to be expected from a twin. She feels very Ducati, very involving and fun to ride. I look forward to some good rides to get a proper feel for what she can do!
Great bike. Should be picking mine up next week, cant wait
