Hello

@adrozvandeest Жыл бұрын

Not much of the (first) ride, as the title suggested. Except a few video fragmets taken on the motorcycle, which were appearing in a form of flashbacks, and without the sound, presenter was just giving a lot of detailed info that can be found on the manufacturer's website. It was too generic for my taste, I felt like someone was reading a brochure to me. I wish there was more real, objective, riding experience "transferred" to viewers, with video, along with a big smile caused by the throttle response.

I'm right there with ya. What makes it worse at least for me is my company is/was afraid of loosing people so they gave everyone a $3 raise and then still had people job hopping for more money so they gave everyone another 7% raise like 8 months later hoping to keep people. Got all excited to buy some cool stuff finally and then manufacturers moved the bar out of my reach again.

Dont get drawn into the ducati trap. The previous model is better. Just cause its v4 doesn't make it better. After all it runs on 2 cylinders most of the time anyway. Ducati get in your head making you think you need something you dont

I'm trading in my red 1260s for this and it should be arriving later this month. I love the 1260s but there are quite a few reasons for the change. I wanted the bike to stay relevant, the service intervals and removal of the desmodromic valves makes sense, the turn-by-turn nav, the bigger display, the styling is slightly better, especially the fact that there's now no "ugly" left-hand side, the cleaner rear seat with the folding pillion pegs brought back and I'm in love with the rear seat cowling.

@78Outlaw Жыл бұрын

Despite my obvious Rocket bias, it's a smart bike Rob. I would say comparing to the XDiavel before was not going to give you the best comparison. Encourage you to try the last 1260S Diavel. I think Ducati are distracting us with peak power as the new V4 is down on torque to the LTwin which felt very lively. Shaving weight has helped keep the perf figures broadly the same. Have to say it sounds more Dyson than Diavel. Who knows I may end up with one but found a) I don't need all that power and b) I'd rather have a naked for chopping up twisties. Will be interesting to see if it's comfortable on longer trips because the last gens were simply not, especially for bigger riders.

For the record I rode a Honda VFR 800 Vtec years ago , which only shut off 2 valves ,not 2 pistons , it felt like it was knackered , it was like it had a misfire and just cleared up a 5000 rpm , it scared me for life , something I never got over , and it probably killed off the vfr , also I hadn’t noticed my Ducati 1260 didn’t have a trellis frame the same as my Ducati gen 1 , I probably thought I’d bought an xdiavel and hadn’t noticed or the bike shop swapped bikes when it was in for a service , I’ll have to take more notice next time , I buy a bike 🏍🏍👍👍

Excellent point about limited riding on closed roads they missed the bad vibrations on bmw X-R as no motorway riding. Looks awesome shame Ducati are making the exhaust price stratospheric . You didn’t speak about panniers fittings on rear ? Any bike over 20k also means all insurance companies refer back to insurers and in lon may mean no cover within reasonable price

I reckon it’s a stunning machine but it now crossed the border between an expensive bike, even very expensive, and a crazy priced bike that falls in the same category of the likes of MV, not even thinking about an S version with electronic suspensions and the rest. I did my best with a Superduke Evo, now that I tasted the exclusivity I’ll probably step back once I’ll feel a need to change. It’s nice to see that this escalation of prices doesn’t appeal to me anymore ✌️

Would it have a tendency to carbon up the rear cyclinders over time . I also wonder about how much spray the rider would get when riding in the rain with that clean rear end? I'd like to hear more when longer rides are done in regular road riding conditions.

More automobile emissions tech filtering down to motorcycles. VVT, some bikes with forced induction, hybrid versions arriving and full electric motorcycles. Cylinder deactivation, all cylinders on car, traffic lights and drive-through‘s. I believe just rear cylinder deactivation more for emissions/mileage as liquid cooled bikes still have hot liquid cooling. I can see rear cylinder deactivation maybe in air cooled bikes.
