Also to worry is the warranty issue if installing exhaust other than the designated Akra set...better to check with dealer before installing other brands...
V2 owners!!! Roll call!!! (Theres only like 6 of us)

My trusted salesman at my trusted dealership, Montgomeryville Cycle Center says it’s only if I open up the inside of my engine and start messing with cams or whatever that the warranty will be void, so I ordered the Zard slipons for my V4 for $2k instead of the Akra slips for like $4k
I’m sure a senior member can jump in and fact check and berate me but I do trust this dealership.

I’ve been eye balling the SC can for a long time. That would probably be my go to for the V2 depending on price.
I have a two bro’s in the Daytona and it screams!!! Not sure how well US brands will go with the Duc, maybe a a dyno will help out?

Creeping out to pound foothills parkway before sundown to get another 100 on the ticker. Passed the Ranger at 9:10 coming back @ the speed limit.
the newer section is fresh pavement which is like glass. the older section is pothole free but quite rough. I didn't fiddle with the suspension adjustments but I am thinking about going to a softer spring.

I got mine two weeks ago (Australia). First Ducati. It's quite a decent bike, but a little sluggish - I have never owned a new bike so I am guessing it's the thicker oil they put in for the first 1000 kms ... Also, not a huge fan of the shifter ... Up is butter smooth but down is a painful experience and can only be described as clunky. Trying to find exhaust options at the moment but not having much luck.

the last little uphill switchback going home requires me to slip the clutch a bit to keep it above 3k rpm. I could go through it faster but that possibility of oncoming traffic outweighs clutch wear or lugging the motor.

I paid cash. I heard it was 1.99% for 36. Saved some extra $$ paying cash up front though so it was worth it in y opinion.

yes, welcome to the forum.
my kriega 5 liter bag and mounting kit arrived yesterday....i actually had to go pick it up at fedex. installing it now and taking some pledge to the slung chain lube. pledge is quite awesome.
a couple guys from Detroit where on foothills so i stopped to check out their monster and panigale.

Manicguitarist mentioned Kriega bags on the UK forum. pretty fast from the uk to east tn.
I can pack 1.5 liter water jug, my camera, phone, wallet and still have a bit of room.

what a glorious machine...took most of the rear compression out and started playing with the fork a bit.
the eighth ride was to the dealer for re-flash at the first service today. seems to pull better but really keeping it below 7000 rpm....per the manual until 1553 miles (2500km).
took the high elevation twisty back roads...140 of the 165 miles to and from is curves going blue ridge and 278. pretty rough so a couple extra psi up front.
the service light came on right on Q but then the damn gas light came on. I was a dumb-ass for not tanking up after a 100 miles chartering unknown territory of boiled peanuts and dollar generals.
