    Ride home from the dealer

    It looks like i might be able to ride it home (3 hours) and avoid the trailer. Is there room to store at least the manual on the bike? Thanks

    First ever ride on a Ducati

    Well after a 3 month wait I took the day off and took the truck to pick up the bike. As I got to dealers we had a "frog strangler" of a storm but dried up ok whilst we were doing the paperwork and bike. Unfortunately I drove into 3 huge storms on the way home so had bike drenched before throwing...

    First Ride (since first service)

    I've just been blown away by this bike once again. Above 8k revs it pulls so hard you better make sure you're bike fit. Torque, Torque, Torque. It's a completely different bike now. Also sounds like a world war 2 spitfire doing a low fly past.

    Do you think I can ride at 75-80mph...

    Hey guys, Hard question to answer but does anyone know if I can comfortably cruise at 75-80mph and stay below the 6,000RPM break in??? :confused: I'll be taking this thing back and forth to work and everyone cruising on I90 is going at lease 75mph...

    My First Ride

    Last week I had my first short ride (approx 100miles) on a Demo Panigale S, it only had 200miles on it when I set off. My first impression was how light and small it felt and that's from me who rides an Aprilia RSV4F SE APRC mainly on Track Days but sometimes on road. It also felt very roomy...

    First ride yesterday

    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...
