choice

As I said in my intro... I am planning on buying another bike in the spring with my annual bonus, and like to fully research purchases. I'm looking at either a 996/998 or a 1098/1198, mostly for mountain runs, and a few track days. So, I came here for info and maybe a bit of advice. I like the...

Well it was probably one of the hardest debates I've had in a while for a new bike. But the deed is done and I'm a new owner of a 2019 V4S Corse! Seems there is a corse train going on currently but can't say its a bad choice at all :D Excited for the mods moving forward Couple...

New to the forums and been quite sometime since I've looked hard at Ducati's I've been in the BMW S1000RR camp for the last 6 years. While I've never been treated poorly, I admit I'm getting a touch tired of inline 4's, but I do feel bmw makes a great daily SBK. However I'm being pulled in by...

Hi folks, Simple question: What tire warmer solution have you opted for your V4 and why?

Sorry if there is already a thread about this somewhere, but just wanted to get some advice. I've turned my 1299S into a track bike and the oriional Pirelli SP rear tyre needs changing. Given its track only, do i replace with the same, or go for Pirelli SC1 or SC2? I appreciate there are...

I'm in the market for an aftermarket tuning device and software. I almost ordered the Tuneboy back in the day and ended up putting the bike build on hold for a couple years. Now that my bikes back together, I'd like to get some input on what people have been using? Ideally something I can...

Hey guys just did my first track day and wanted to know what size tyre in front & rear do you run? I have 2015 panigale R.. the sp rear is 190 but are some of you running 200? What different characristics do you get? Also would I have to adjust my TC or ABS?

Hey Guys, Prepping up for my first track day at Laguna Seca (yes, I am very excited). The tire vendor there is a Dunlop vendor, and I'm thinking of throwing some DOT "slicks" on (I forget the model), or some race slicks. Some questions: 1) I have Supercorsa SP's on the bike with maybe...

I'm looking into swapping the rear shock on my 1299 base, and I got 3 choices. Ohlins TTX, Penske or Bitubo XXF61 or XXF31. Anyone got any experiences on why or why not on any of them? Use is mostly road, but the occational trackday..

Hey All, So after riding the wife and little one in the warmer weather today, they noticed the bike is too hot for them. So I now have to choose a 2nd bike. After talking to a buddy I narrowed it down to 2. Ducati Hypermotard SP vs Aprilia Tuono V4 RR I owned a Hyperstrada and loved it and...

Some of you know I haven't been on the track in almost a decade and I have a deposit paid on the 1299s but i want something not expensive for a first back track back. I can get a leftover 2013 R1, 2014 ZX6 or a 2014 R6 for 10k otd. All new. Whats the thoughts of the track heavy/race guys. This...

Since I have been out of riding a motorcycle for about 9 years and tires have changed and advanced, I was wanting everyone's input on a tire change. I asked this in the Motard Thread and got no response. All advice and knowledge welcome. Ride - 2013 Ducati Hypermotard/Hyperstrada Current...

Hey all. New to the site so Duc, STW or PHL spank me as needed for a dumb thread. I need another set of brains. About 9 years ago I suffered many slipped disks in my neck and back, nerve damage in my right arm and hip and knee damage and hadn't ridden since then until buying my Hyperstrada...

I need a new seat. The stock is racking my nads. Is the comfort seat worth it? Or is there a better choice out there? Me and my jewels are desperate guys. I used to think the r6 was rigid and uncomfortable. Its like a cloud compared to this seat.

So I shipped my 2000 SV650s (which I love) to Europe to use as a vacation bike. Now I am on the prowl for a new bike here in Canada. The SV ruined me for other engine configurations... it's vtwin or nothing. It has only 70 or so HP, and a nice torque curve. Only complaint was suspension...

ill start of with a good topic to discuss, that i notice havent been brought up. im curious to see what people think of it as you may know out of the factory or from what i hear the suspension set up is not great & needs alot of tweaking. DES - DUCATI ELETRONIC SYSTEM what do people think of...

I recently bought my first Arai, a Corsair V, after riding with a Suomy Vandal. The Arai is much more stable at high speed which is what I was chasing - wasn't an issue until I bought this red rocket! Ventilation and visibility is also great with clear vision (no vibration).

As im in New Zealand, I'm having real trouble trying to find a distributor to buy a replacement air filter. After reading the threads it seems beneficial to replace the filter as soon is I fit the termi slip ons. I've tried going to BMC's site but they'll only sell to people in the U.S or...

The motorcycle you ride... just like anything else, it's another form of expression and you chose it - so what does your choice of motorcycle say about you?
