From Street to Street

[rac3r]

New bike arrived today

After a 70/80 mile ride I love it. Needs adapting to definitely though

There are quite a few differences to the Street Triple but for me the one that was the biggest is that the Ducati is very planted and as such needs more input to turn, especially at slow speeds (as I found to my embarrassment at a mini roundabout ) The riding position is also more aggressive, felt strange at first but I soon settled in. Weird thing is you can see the front wheel

In regards to riding a thousand (this is my first 1k) like everyone said it's pretty tame....until you open it up You can pretty much use any gear you want for any speed, as long as you are above 3k revs it's damn smooth and power is instant. My favorite thing is cruising along then opening it up to hear it snarl (sounds fairly good with stock cans). Brakes are awesome, lots of feel and have a very sharp bite to them so you have to be weary of that. However my rear brake doesn't work for shit! Couldn't even hold me on a very slight hill so I'll have to get the dealer to sort that

So first impressions are good and will hopefully get better!

Mods planned are 2-1 exhaust and open clutch cover

Looks awesome.

When will the Termi cans follow to release more awesomeness.?

Man, that's a beast. I quite like. Get some loud pipes on it though.

Looks like it has been shunted from both ends.

I like it

Bike looks cool.

I think out of those two exhausts the SC project looks better.
Do Mivv make an exhaust for the streetfighter? they make some nice looking ducati monster pipes.

Apart from the obvious power difference, how does it compare to the Triple?
Please tell me it has a better full lock turning circle.

What do you reckon on the Mivv GP cans in Titanium?

or stick with SC Project single?

The Mivi GPs look pretty good imo, they 'lighten' the look of the rear end nicely.
Cheers for the comparison btw, by your account it would seem the Triple is still the bike for my level of riding.

Looking lovely. The SC can is gorgeous. If it were my bike I would certainly get that one.

Like it! What you say sounds just like me going from the STR to the 999, needs more effort to turn but is so planted, bumps don't faze it.
After a fast ride on the duc I can feel it in my legs, using them more to get the bike turning. The Arrows look good, bet the sound is too. Does it have adjustable steering head? Mine's going onto the poity setting this weekend.
Enjoy it.

Will do at some point, smoked tail light fitted so you can actually see it now!

Just need to get the tuning sorted when I have the money
