Hyper hoñorary
Lol i imagine this bike will also create a breed of revolutionarily douchy duc owners as well.
its not even the most interesting part of the review. just the first para. I cross-polinated before I finished reading it.
the stuff about the shaft centerlines, and swingarm length was better. somebody get there with a tape measure.
The moto-usa guy isn't impressed.

Overall I’m pretty pumped on the new bike and think it might have something for the competition come shootout time. Make sure to visit us on Monday for the full report.
That's what you got out of that write up?![]()
It still isn’t anywhere as close to as fast as the S1000RR but since its so light (without question its the lightest bike in the class) and delivers a high level or rear end traction you’ll be surprised by how fast the thing goes
In terms of electronics I’m still not sold on Ducati’s traction control and the quick-shifter could be faster too
i know this is going to piss off die-hard duc enthusiasts but the biggest thing about the bike is just how ‘japanese’ it feels.
