Don't worry, your inline 4 will never sound like that, even if it was broken. The sound comes from the 90° V-Twin engine. Ducati is famous for it. I understand, though, that it's not everyone's cup of tea.

This is why I wish Suzuki would come out with a naked sport-bike version of the old SV1000s...just more updated on cosmetics. This Ducati is a fantastic bike. Pure beauty!

Everything I have read about this bike sounds amazing. I'm going to have to take one for a spin soon. Any thoughts on how that tall riding position with the short reach to the bars works for a tall rider (6'3"). Some footage I have seen of guys riding this bike, they seem to be sitting bolt upright like on a dirt bike, which is not much fun once you get much over 100kph for any period of time.

@494Ibrahim 13 жыл бұрын

@bloodpig101 yeah i was surprised to hear that it looks like the bars are pretty low to me

@Jonoku Please try and understand that I am not saying this to try and offend the guy !!!! Not at all . It is just that there in smthng in us that always tries to push into being/becoming better ... and seeing and REALIZING, most importantly, that (Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.) a person usually takes a conscious decision to try and be better ! Which can only lead to a positive outcome to all (is my humble opinion). All the best Jonoku .

Really comfortable !

@ShamanWS6 15 жыл бұрын

Another serious consideration is Aprilia's Tuono. Same sort of bike, awesome chassis and almost as fast (140hp versus 155hp for the Duke), while being much cheaper. The Rotax 990 is also proven to be bombproof. But... the Duke is awesome and is likely a better bike in both ways, if you have the extra $6,000 USD.

@BenPie56 14 жыл бұрын

good test. It looks a confortable fun bike, though I don't think so good wind protection... I'd like the bike so much. Anybody knows the music comment?

@moomoodeadcow 12 жыл бұрын

Not yet though. Later on I started learning and taking lessons and track days, I decided that sports bike are more to my taste. Not that I've lost the passion for the streetfighter though, It's still gorgeous, but I've decided that my first bike was going to be a pure blooded sports bike.

I love this bike a lot, but the pricetag is what throws me. On that note, I'd like to know how it compares to other bikes in the same category of 1L nakeds. FZ1-N and Z1000 especially, as they are (obviously) much more affordable for someone with a tight budget like me.

@ferrari68 15 жыл бұрын

ok but realistically whens the last time you did 150mph or was in a situation that requires that much speed

@MicWreck 15 жыл бұрын

As you go up in speed, it seems to become more inaccurate. Also, on many bikes (like my old GSXR750), you can disconnect the speedometer which disables any limiters. Also, this bike is essentially a 1098 without the fairings. Granted, there are going to be aerodynamics changes as well as gear ratio changes which will definitely impact your top speed. If you change out the sprockets, I have no doubt that you can do well over 150mph.

The speedo's on the bikes are notoriously inaccurate. I once saw 183 on my speedo at VIR Raceway (before I taped over the speedo), but there was no way...

@ItsJakeTheBrake 15 жыл бұрын

have you ever ridden 150mph on a sports bike? If yes then just imagine having to hold on to the handlebars 10times as much because there's no protection from the wind.

It's a naked so the lack of fairing limits the top speed its got nothing to do with the engine most big naked bikes have electronic limiters
