Oh no no no, lights on and maintain eye contact
Well spotted Char, extra layer, it's grimm oop narth and he's probably from Lincs
I put it to you sir, you have no taste, there has been compelling evidence of this, by witnessing your many scribblings over the years. The defence rests m'lud.
After seven happy and contented years of multistrada ownership, honest Noobs its a revelation, as soon as I pulled away it felt right. She's lighter, more nimble, the fuelling and the gearing are better, the front feels well planted, it was nice to see a steering damper under the headstock. With the suspension set on firm dynamic street mode, electronic anti-dive on and 50% rear preload, the bike handles really well. The radar adaptive cruise is amazing, on the A64 I had it set at 70 with the distance setting to medium, pull into the nearside lane she'll pick up a vehicle and match distance and speed, put the indicator on and she'll sprint upto 70 to pass.
Pull in again this time no overtake, coming to a roundabout the bike maintained distance from the car in front up to entering the roundabout, all I had to do was cover the brakes, the bike did it on its own. I love Ducati but I could become a 1290 SAS fanboy!
If you get a chance to have a test ride, you'll not be disappointed.
Oh, the seat height is not as tall as I expected and there's umpteen different combo's to get the best height
fank ewe kind sir
Mate of mine was told he’d invalidate his warranty if he exceeded 700?Have you already booked first service? I was up to 952 miles by the earliest date they could give me
Only took 3 rides out to pass the first 600.
Gary the gaffer at Teasdale said 600ish ideally but no more than 1000
It’s some engine isn’t it Bob?
Is the damper adjustable? The one on my 1290 isn’t and not a lot of cop to be honest.
Very twitchy as you’re trying to come to a stop, luckily I’m not a Gaylord like that madman Wayne..
Soz Wayne, luvs ya really!Poor old gaylord he needs a van to slow him down!
I would of liked to of seen the side of that van, i fucking head butted it and it split my Shoei!!Engine is a cracker mate, I don't think the damper is adjustable, I've had no issues coming to stop so far, with the anti-dive and the fuel bladders being down low, makes for a very balanced ride, low speed riding is a doddle. Poor old gaylord he needs a van to slow him down!
