What kind of person special orders a bike like this and then doesn't ride it? 1700km? Most people would do that in their first week on a new bike surely?

good ad for Ducati reliability if it comes pre-equipped with a tow system....

I've seen a couple thrity thousand plus rides recently loaded with extras and sweet F-all kms on them up for sale. The two I can immediately think of were both traded (one has 1,000 kms on it) on new expensive bikes. In both cases the shop guy noted the owner was loaded.

Expensive toys, purchased at a whim possibly.

Kev rode one in Perth, says they will wheelie - but it's bloody difficult and you've got to turn off most of the electronics.....

PS The owner was most surprised, LOL.

I rode one in Canada for a month. They wheelie and do sick drifts out of corners with it set to sport mode

For what they are for sure. But they have 28 odd deg of rake, feet forward and a rear tyre that's too wide...so you know...a racer it ain't.

I'm willing to bet you could lap Manfield quicker on your RF mate.

Really? I haven't ridden the Ducati. So I'll have to take your word for it.

Can't remember, not that fast I don't think. Be quicker than that now though. One tooth down on the front sprocket so ya don't need to use first gear, brakes that work, and the suspension internals upgraded.
