Well they haven't started fighting with each other yet. That's a good sign
The Ducati has all the goods I wanted in a new ride. My only gripe is the smaller handlebar diameter. It hurts my hands squeezing the smaller grip.
....and wow! Brakes that actually work!!!!
They work scary good. This will take alot of getting used to. ABS had to kick in and save my fanny a few times when I did my usual brake squeeze I'm used to doing with the Suzuki. It would have been ugly without ABS there to get me back under control again.
I feel like I've been working out all weekend. Pushing the extra heft around the driveway and such has me all rubbery feeling.
No worries, I'm still riding it in wimp mode (urban mode). At this setting's 75 HP limit I am blown away by the get up and go available. I'm afraid of what this sucker is like in sport mode
Now for my favorite part. all those bad roads and highways where I get the crap beat out of me by the S40's lack of suspension - smooth as glass now. Most of them anyway. The suspension on this machine eats that junk up like nothing. The bad washboard down the street from me by the highway interchange that used to practically throw me off of my seat. It's just not there anymore!
Then the wind protection is very welcome too. And when riding across the wind I'm not getting blown all over my lane anymore.
So far I'm pretty happy with the new bike.
So is my neighbors daughter
