Rode it

Didn't get far as only had leathers on and started raining but clearly it's a total monster

Anything that make a 190bhp ZX10R feel like pussy cat is a bloody beast

Rode one of the longest wettest rides of my life. I thought when the weather cleared up just before brum it would be a nice ready ride back, wrong! It pissed it down all the way from Banbury..

On the positive side, the m7's and the KTM make a stunning combination in the wet (cool)

Cleaned it which almost feels as nice as riding it

20 year wait for a Ducati is finally over

Rode home from Hayshem and managed to get ahead of the rain near Bolton and the bike just breezed along the M roads on Cruise control until near Wakefield then I hit the back lanes home from there.

The first block of the fuel gauge turned off at 85 miles... Thrashing over the mountain yesterday the low fuel warning came on at 80! Way more fun though.

Might wash it tomorrow.

Chill with a beer now Stonesie

Rode it to Silverstone to watch BSB, this was the last of my VIP tickets so that's it for this year, pissed down all the way back and it was really windy but my Textiles did the job bone dry when I got unwrapped. Was Chatting to rich at AR for a bit , he had a clients panigale in the pits with a brand new/ prototype exhaust system on it, Frankie has some pics I think.

Back to the bland commute

They even look loud Frankie.

Am I alone in not like the AR stuff? It doesn't look very good IMO. Very little style or styling. They remind me of the can of beans exhausts you used to see on shit cars.

The guy who wanted this on his bike wanted it as loud as possible, and these cans are the loudest, IMO it doesn't look right on the Pani but apparently it is as loud as hell, there is no wadding, packing or anything in the whole system !!

I like the look of them, they look very well made, welds and springs and connections all look good. I do like the look on this bike.
Life would be boring if we all liked the same stuff There is a video on line somewhere I saw when the guy started it up.

I've had a close look at several of the AR cans and although they are not the most stylish looking can they are very well made and light too , which you would expect I suppose if they have no wadding etc in them .

Would like to see a shot of the whole bike with the cans before making judgement in fairness.

There quality is top draw and obviously going for the wsbk race look

those are the other 2 Frankie had on Facebook

You got a full length side shot so you can see how it integrates overall?
