Picked up the new bike today, not mad on the wheel colours or the can but both will be sorted in due course. It's got torque for days, will report more as I get used to it.

Be interested to hear how you find it after the Multistrada. Busa is a potential next bike for me.

What's the legroom like?

Legroom is designed with the tall in mind, the pegs are further back than a ZX10R, R1 etc, so the knees don't lock in as well for us shorties but for tall riders, it'll feel how a supersport feels for me.

After the Multistrada? First thing is smoothness, it feels like mechnical silk in comparison. Doesn't turn in as easy but feels much more confident when properly leant over. The throttle is so smooth, it makes the Multistrada feel like a bad prototype. To be honest, in almost every aspect, it just screams refinement, which the Ducati totally lacked.

The front is gold on the outside and black in the middle, the rear is gold in the middle and black around the outside. I get what the previous owner was going for but yeah, I do plan to get them both done gold.
