Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

I think I'm leaning more towards a middle weight.

I did like the Speed but the Street RS is better value for money. I was certainly quicker on the Street than I was on the Speed which suggests that the Street and me were more suited.

My problem is that I've not ridden a Ducati sportsbike for about 10 years now. I have no idea if I like them.

I think a Ducati is more than the sum of it's parts. They're an "owner's bike" in a way Japanese bikes can only dream about.

At the same place as that 848

Not as nice as a 999

When do you pick it up??


*That raise is already spent, I see.

Between the Versys and something missile-like for the weekend, where does that leave time to ride the AT other than a TS Euro trip?

The AT will be used at weekends and switched over to commuting from time to time. I want to explore some green lanes nearby as well and when the kids are a bit older I take Mrs K away for weekends. The AT is my long termer.

Now that is alot of bike and technology for the money.

Hopefully it makes the short list

There is a Multi identical to mine with 20k miles and a full Termi system on it up for £7k on the ducatiforum.

I think that you could build a replica of my MT-10 within budget, Tony at Parkitt is the man who tuned it and is advising in this months PB, looks like he has found some airbox mods that would make it faster than mine.

Have I missed the thread Kwacky's lottery win?

Not now he's turned down the new job

Been looking that 959 is a really good price for a dealer with Akrapovic cans

You fancy a test ride

I do. I'll have to see when I can get over though. I'm busy every Saturday until Christmas then I go away.

Bang a deposit on it if your serious, it might not hang around at that money. Call it an early Xmas present plus most dealers offer a refundable deposit if you haven't seen it.

Worst case scenario you could test ride it for a few months and if you dont like it sell on in summer probably for a small profit.

The colour scheme is a bit different but i kinda like it.

A non-standard paint job and just one key means my spider senses are tingling.

The 848 is the dogsdanglies. Only 3300 miles? Why do some people waste money on a bike? Bit pricey though for what it is
