    SuperSport 950S - The height of the rider.

    Hi everyone! I am asking for advice. I would like to buy a Ducati SUperSport 950S, but I'm only 186cm tall and I have to sit my ass on the end of the seat so my knees can fit behind the cover. If I choose a higher seat (+ 2cm), will it solve my problem? Whether such a change is worth it or it...

    Gen 1/2 Diavel vs 1260s Diavel for bigger rider

    Hey all, I'm a bigger rider (6'4/270 w/ gear) debating picking up a used Gen1 or Gen2 Diavel and upgrading the front and rear shocks to support my weight vs buying the 1260s--which already has Ohlin shocks. One Duc dealership stated the stock shocks on the 1260s would support my weight...

    soft suspension (new rider)

    I had the 1000Km service last Friday, nursed this thing like a child, myself a bit new to fast riding and in short petrified of the 1299. I think its a combination of its cost together with no insurance and having not ridden 1000cc bikes for almost 15 years. (and god have they come on a bit)...

    I finally met another desmo rider

    So, today was ride to work day. All the motorcyclists on the base, Sheppard Air Force Base, gather up and ride around the base. We go out with them and make a bunch of noise with sirens and air horns! We finished up and headed over to a pavilion to eat lunch. I see a red 996 pull up and...

    Confessions of a former sport mode rider...

    So I've had my 1199R since late may/early April of this year. The day after I took delivery of the bike I rode out of NYC in "wet mode" or as I like to call it, "ninja 250 mode". Coming from an 848 and a monster 1100S I thought it would be best to learn the geometry of the bike in this so...
