I'm really impressed with the suspension it is solid and stable through the corners. However over roads of poor condition its soaks up the bumps amazingly well. I'am impressed how easy it is going from side to side on a round about then picking a point in the road to exit, it is effortless and very precise.
The engine has a bit of punch to it but you really have to rev it. There's a surge at about 8000 rpm through to the red line. I've played around with the modes and race mode is good for open roads were as i have found putting it in sport mode for towns works quite well as the throttle in race mode can be a little aggressive from nothing to a slight opening.
I'am having problems with sliding on the seat into the tank. I visited Neil at Corner speed and had a chat with him regarding a different seat also I changed the engine braking setup. I went from level 1 to 3. On the way homeIi could tell a small difference at low engine speed but I was took by surprise approaching a corner at 8000rpm the bike had virtually no engine braking at all.
Niggles I'm having
You get a hot ass sometimes as that exhaust gets rather close to your bottom.
Want to get with some grip pads on the tank or maybe try another seat as there are a couple Ducati offer.
Loving the bike at the moment and even though I'm not 100% the bike is looking after me and making me feel rather special.
