Do it Perks its a proper weapon
Ducati lent me one last year. There very good for test rides. I picked it up at 10am and they just said be back before we shut at 6pm. 4 tanks of fuel later with a huge grin on my face I got back at 5:58pm

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
I got 260 and thought I was doing wellCav wrote:4 tanks? So that's about 200 miles I'm guessing?
Took it back with the fuel light on, which I was embarrassed about, although they werent bothered tbh and I offered to pay for a refuel.
I got back literally 10mins before closing and if I had gone for fuel I was worried I would be too late
They just said " you had a good day" obviously I said "yes" and that was it got my bike and rode home, no hard sell, just glad I had enjoyed it.

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
That is doing well! I was hoping to do some test rides this year but I doubt that's going to be happening. A Hypermotard and Panigale V2 would be top of my Ducati list.

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
Do the Pani V2 and V4 back to back.
Before I bought the 1299 I did a day on a 959 and the next day on a 1299. Ducati are good for test rides.

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
I doubt they'll let a 26 year old on the V4. I think insurance requirements state 30 now.. it certainly does on hire bikes.

Try the new DMC at Worcester.

I have ridden the V4 Panigale. Fantastic motorbike but it needs to be ridden on track to get anywhere near its potential, IMHO.
You could save yourself £10k with the V2 and be no slower 95% of the time.

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
100% agree with Duke but its one hell of a motorcycle. Probably a game changer imo.
Easier to ride than the 1299 and although not as brutal on acceleration its ultimately a faster motorcycle, as makes 200+bhp much easier than it should be

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
Just watched Boris on the news.
Its frightening to think he is in charge. He doesn't look well, sound well and doesn't have a clue what he is doing.
Biggest crisis in 75 years and we have a fool in charge.
