There is a full Akra race system available but they usually cost megabucks. I suspect Ducati may have to offer this as a freebie to get some bikes on the road.

May go back to my original idea of an early 1199 and make it what i want, or wait a few years for a s/h 1299.

I thought this post was about bikes not silly electric cars. Come on guys talking electric cars in a bike thread is sounding the GAY alarm. Let's keep this on topic and take the gayNess out of the room (giggle) http://i696.photobucket.com/albums/vv322/tankslap/gay-love-spells-mantra-to-attract-someone_zpsj8faawmx.jpg ...

Trackdays can be just as dangerous..let's be honest riding bikes is dangerous wherever you do it.

@Duke. Good article in fast bikes dec15 edition comparing the 1299 to the 899 as road bikes.

Think you might enjoy the read.

... blade ( hopefully ) then I can get the multistrada back from er indoors garage as ive kept it there for a bit as my garage is way too small for 3 bikes, plus all the shelving etc.

... and although chrono days came about to prevent that, people don't like being told they're too slow for that group - very often with expensive bikes and kit as well. I hung on in novice and Inters for too long, once I made the decision to try the Fast group I didn't look back. I did put myself ...

... you're on the right track, with getting the front refreshed and resprung, but as Cav pointed out its the rear that's typically very poor on most bikes, the problem is one of both cost and compromise. The oem Shock is typically a cheap unit, (unless you've bought a special model), plus it's set ...

California is ace. Had a good time.

In Indianapolis now and been trying on dragster bikes for size. Gonna go to the Indy raceway museum tomorrow.

Typically the rear suspension is the weak link on Japanese bikes. I'd be surprised if a fork/shock refresh made any noticeable difference without changing the springs as the oil is still pretty new and probably not had a great deal of hard use. Next time ...

I think some people really don't see bikes as a danger and thus seeing themselves as being quote safe...what they fail to realise is its not them its others wanting to knock you off or even the floor itself, ride over a bit of gravel, diesel, ...

Think we love speed. ..prob why we own bikes haha!! But the real buzz for me is the twisties no matter what in car or bike you really can't beat a bend after bend after bend road!

I'm sure most of us have done the top speed thing in cars and bikes but you don't film it unless it's legal frankly. Plus it's not the driver, it's the people around you who can't see you coming that are the problem. I think other road users have a right ...

Hopefully a sign Rossi means buinsess this weekend.

VR46 first bikes out in pit lane today

Kawasaki have been pioneering that for a few years Duke. They reckon new tc systems will go this way for road bikes soon or later.

I'm in two minds about all of this technology we're seeing on bikes. I can understand the reasons for it but I wonder if too many people are simply leaning on the safety features and creating a false sense of security. With you 100%....like having the ...
