The actual finished bikes look even better

... thanks Kwacky for the loan made it much easier to install,shock was a struggle to get in there everything is so tight and compact on modern bikes.The amount of electrics under the tank is mental,I was abit shocked non of the suspension linkages and bolts had any assembly lube smeared on,im ...

So been doing some research the 013 + bikes with electronic steering damper have an ohlins ecu already fitted which is under the tank.You need to wire the 8 leads into this ecu,hopefully it's quite clear what the ecu looks like when the tanks ...

Not really. Tank is almost underneath you as the seating position is well forward.

One of those bikes you sit on and instantly it feels just right.

that looks awesome. not really into naked bikes, but i do like that.

... MOT on noise. I've got my 748 through twice now without changing the cans and they have no baffles at all. Its when they bring emission testing to bikes we will have a problem. My thoughts exactly and I'm betting my next bike will be the last one I can do what I want with.

Middle paced inters on that day. There were only 3 of us on road bikes in that group.

Hollywood is after Redgate, before Craner.

My favourite part is coming out of the old hairpin, hanging off to the left and going for it all the way to McLeans. I'm more comfortable on my left.

They are very unlikely to fail an MOT on noise. I've got my 748 through twice now without changing the cans and they have no baffles at all.

There is a full Akra race system available but they usually cost megabucks. I suspect Ducati may have to offer this as a freebie to get some bikes on the road.

May go back to my original idea of an early 1199 and make it what i want, or wait a few years for a s/h 1299.

I thought this post was about bikes not silly electric cars. Come on guys talking electric cars in a bike thread is sounding the GAY alarm. Let's keep this on topic and take the gayNess out of the room (giggle) http://i696.photobucket.com/albums/vv322/tankslap/gay-love-spells-mantra-to-attract-someone_zpsj8faawmx.jpg ...

Trackdays can be just as dangerous..let's be honest riding bikes is dangerous wherever you do it.

@Duke. Good article in fast bikes dec15 edition comparing the 1299 to the 899 as road bikes.

Think you might enjoy the read.

... blade ( hopefully ) then I can get the multistrada back from er indoors garage as ive kept it there for a bit as my garage is way too small for 3 bikes, plus all the shelving etc.
