And yes, Ducati twins have never been about pottering about town, especially R-spec motors. Not sure about the destroy themselves bit as I've had faultfree miles on mine over long distance. But never would I rate an engine based on town-friendliness! The big Dukes always have a gigantic elastic power band, similar to the way big Ferrari V12s behave in cars.
Is that your 1098R in the latest copy of PB? My excuse for a memory thinks you're an "Ade" and the bike on p.24 has been extensively fiddled with / super-finished bits etc and looks vaguely familiar. Prof Prolapse said:
Wet run through Perthshire and up towards Braemar where I (just) failed to get above the clouds. 4 hours in the rain with no waterproofs, I take what I can these days!
Bonus points if you can identify the car I'm parked next to.
Looks like the https://www.landrover.co.uk/vehicles/range-rover-v... surprised they still had the wrapping on it though as it was at goodwood.Bonus points if you can identify the car I'm parked next to.
My next work in progress
WIP because it has some issues to resolve so a bit of a rolling resto
I have only every purchased a motorcycle that didn't require some work and that was back in 1982 and probably because that one was brand new........ and within 3 months I was on 2nd oversize pistons!!!.

This was mint until my friend bought it and dropped it when someone pulled out on him and then threw it when it wouldn't work. I was heart broken.
I didn't even get a go before this happened
So he crashed it, picked it up, tried to start it, it wouldn't work, he threw it on the floor and then photographed it??I didn't even get a go before this happened
He's been watching far too much Moto3!
