yeah I bought this bike last fall and it fell on its right side on a hill , crushed my foot and ankle , because I couldnt get my leg outta the way in time. F'n cant walk now , foot is toast.
A lot of youtubers think they are broadcasting a TV show. Just be quick and to the point. Everyone has to pontificate about the meaning of life. I have 100 other videos to watch. I just want the baby not the labor.
xion 1212 he’s spent five years with motorcycles being one of his center focuses. How do you expect him to not evolve and change? But to say it’s an act...you’re wrong. He’s still excited about bikes. He’s obviously not gonna keep buying cbrs
modds on mine: bar end mirrors handle bars that come back 3.5" 2" bar risors the large puig windshield fender eliminator digital box to turn tailights into signals as well termigoni exhaust and upmap mid controls xdiavel handgrips and shorty levers heated handgrips
I dig the fender. I miss my bike (Ducati Streetfighter). I’m in Alaska and the bike is in MIssouri. Your posts get me through the long winters till I can ride again.
"Jump off the bike," man you need to lay off the Tom Crooze movies. You better turn off ABS too just in case you need to low side it under an 18 wheeler. What you need to buy is a tow package so that you don't have an emotional meltdown if your bike won't start.
its called you don't want to go down with a 100+ pound bike since that leads broken legs and if you can disperse your energy over distance you will be less likely to be hurt
KK: Have you ever been in a MC accident? Shit happens quick when you're moving. Even if you could find time to jump off, you'd be flying in the direction of whatever you're going to hit anyway. Gravity will bring it right back to eye level is short order. Bikes weigh a lot more than 100 lbs, but whether you jump or your bike hits it, your body will continue floating thru the air at the same speed it was going before you left the seat. The only thing jumping would do is give you that much less time to brake and swerve around the obstacle. You guys should watch racing some time. You'd learn a lot about how these things work. Racers often come barreling around a corner to find someone/bike lying in their path they have to avoid. I've been watching for decades and I've yet to see anyone ever leap off their bike to avoid it. And they most always do manage to avoid it.
If it's a battery tender brand trickle charger, battery tender makes a USB cable that attaches to the bike like you were charging it, but it gives you power for phone, GPS, heated gloves, whatever you need
The pegs... It's a cruiser, most cruisers have forward legs, that allows for the sitting position, . As for a car pulling in front of you, cancel your turn signals!, luckily the diavel has self cancelling. Trunk, carry a backpack, battery, that will be the one thing I agree with you..
So if you can't get the heated gloves going I'd recommend getting heated grips. Really, it is a lifesaver for your hands, and I should know living in Norway. Hell, I even use it on cold summer nights.
I’m so happy you’re a Ducati convert. Ducs just have so much more personality as opposed to Japanese bikes. I totally believe you in that you would return it if you were unhappy.
uh uh. no matter where you positioned the pegs, it won't change the fact and tge feeling that you are riding a wild beast with nothing to hang on to except the handle bar. by the way, always love your vids man. and i know it's late but congratulations on owning a beast
Say if you get some battery powered gloves that don't hook up to the bike, how about a review of those? I have been looking for a good portable pair that I don't have to wire to my bike.
It may draw too much power and blow the fuse, even if it does work, the wire will look ugly when routing it to under seat. I may just get some battery powered gloves or something.
Couldnt you route a wire under the tank somehow ? and you can check power requirement easily ~ Power (in watts) = volts x amps, if your gloves have a power rating on them divide it by 14 and that will give you how many amps they`ll take, as long as your fuse rating is above that your good
Any heated gear using the 12 V on top will blow fuses, trust me found that out the hard way. wire directly from the battery, fuse it with relay, and just run it up along the 12v sat nav wire.
Cruza; Locating the battery where Ducati did is one of the reasons your Diavel handles as brilliantly as it does. 'Dummy' pegs will leave you with the same lack of confidence(and increased danger) because your foot 'controls' will be absent. Either get used to it or spread your cheeks for Ducati's answer. Or mount "dummy" forward mounts after your Italian buggery. 'Bikers' have called them "Highway Pegs" for decades. Except for the replacement of the ubiquitously effete HORN motorcycles are commonly given; For the next 5000 miles suspend all activity altering the motorcycle and defer to gripe #5.
Douglas Elliott I agree, the mid foot pegs will decrease his reaction time in an emergency creating more of a danger than the minimal safety benefit of "jumping off". And you could always add a top box or side cases for your ride to California, easily remove them when not needed.
Mid controls or not there’s no way your jumping off that bike fast enough to avoid a real fucked up day,especially how fast you’d be going on that bad boy...just hope When you do it your recording for the channel lol
Exactly, he hasn't been in an accident yet, and has no idea how quickly it all happens. If he has time to think and jump, he has time to brake and move over to avoid the accident in the first place
Actually, a viewer thanked me for my advice on jumping from the bike, save him from death. He saw a truck go through a stop sign and he had no time to swerve so he leaped from his bike and landed on top of the truck while his bike was smashed to pieces. He walked away without a scratch and thanked me in a comment. Also, dirtbikers do it all the time to help avoid injury. I do it on my wr250r when riding off-road, leap from the bike when I feel the bike is about to go down. NINJA STYLE! NOTE: Ask dirtbikers / motocross riders/ freestyle riders, who jump off their bikes to avoid injury and maybe they will help you understand better. Peace!
May 2016. Kawasaki concours vs deer. 72 mph. I didn't bail and I didn't try to take the ditch. I hung on and it was the best decision I ever made. I went through the centre of the deer and broke it in half. I didn't go down and I walked away with a slightly sore back and covered on my left side in grass. The deer didn't do as well and most of the front of the bike was missing, i.e. fairing and lights. I can't imagine ever jumping off but I guess there might be a situation where you could. I think if I was heading for a truck I would swerve the bike instead of slicing under it after jumping. I thought bailing out was only for planes.
All 5 are very small issues & not worth hating on but I get it, just annoying things that coulda been better from factory. That's one beautiful bike Cruza, looking forward to seeing you ride the balls off it! Be safe!
I personally prefer to bunny hop or wheelie over obstacles in danger situations rather than bail for obvious reasons. Rather than mid pegs, consider jet packs or flip out helicopter blades.
I have only one complaint, and it’s minor: The bike does not like to go slow! I have to feather the clutch more than I would like in parking lots, etc...🙃
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought: .... Ducati Regreti? First Ducati Biscotti from YammieNoob, now I come up with Ducati Regreti... I like that battery placement though. Low center of gravity. Even when you get one of those lighter weight lithium replacements, like from Shorai.
I have ridden it some days ago and I was very disappointed about the (not given) capability to ride that bike below 3000rpm. It is a ducati means it is a high rev sportsbike. Cruising not possible.
2 things i hate about my cbr600 DOUBLE R- i mean f4i the non linear powerband, (really jumpy) wheels not being balanced, and having a 190/55/17 on instead of 180/55 makes the ride sketchhh
The only thing I dont like about them and I have been on one is the foot controls are more forward. I used to ride bikes with mid controls but now I am to used to rear foot controls. Sexy bikes though. I love italian. I ride a 2016 Aprilia RSV4 RF amd an 06 CBR600RR
Cruza bro. It has 2 wheels just love it. That is a nice bike, I know I could never own one, just don't have the cash. All 3 bikes are nice. I have a 2000 Harley 1200 Sportster Custom , yeah a Harley. Lol. But I love it , no coputer no oil leaks no problems. Its not the fastest but it gets me were I want to go and back. Shit you can't really go over the speed limit or whatever. The only thing I really don't like is the fuel tank. Its like a 2.1 gallon tank and I want to get a bigger fuel tank. Someday I'll get rich. Lmao. If it has 2 wheels I love it. Keep up the truthfull vlogs. Keep it real bro. I'll know I'll be at Thunder in the Valley this year 2018. Can't wait. Then Sturgis in August .
Cruza, u made fun of us harley guys saying we clean our bikes more than we ride. Well now I think u know when u have a bike that has awesome styling, and a sweeeet paint job... keep em coming good job.
Cyclecruza maybe take your bike to a Ducati service shop and see if they can wire you up some extra plug ins and look nice without voided your warranty. As for the foot pegs being in the middle I have ridden thousands of miles and it isn't no where near as comfortable as feet forward. You want feel like riding to California with your feet in the middle. Don't believe me bottoe or rent a cruiser and ride a weekend with your feet in the middle position. I've said this already but give yourself more reaction time and enjoy your comfort.
Some viewers said there is a battery plug-in underneath the seat, I did not know that. I will do a follow up video if I can find it. Like I said I love the feet forward BUT I want to add some mid pegs for piece of mind so I can properly bail from the bike if I need to.
You will never have the fastest instinct to just jump off your motorcycle in an accident. When it happens, it will never come across your mind to do it. You're focusing on preparing for the fall. Come on now.
Hey cycle cruza I wonder if you put a set of secondary pegs. What are you gonna do about your back brake lever. Are you just gonna move it to the other pegs. And if so would that void your warranty. Im just wondering because it would be a pain to have to switch to the forward controls if you wanted to use your back brakes
its 2018 and ur cbr is i think 2002 model. already been 15 years. Isn't she banned on the road. I am curious because any vehical more than 15 years is banned on the road. what about that?
Storage on my bikes is the same way! ...enough room for a pack of smokes & a lighter! Ha ha ha! Sucks because they came with nice tool kits, but have no room for them! Peace bro!!!
Hey CycleCruza, I love the Ducati and enjoyed doing a demo ride with this bike and with 160HP on tap... I would rather have this one instead of a harley..LOL
6 things you dont like...you mentioned that buying any parts for a Ducati is expensive. I can tell that causes a little extra anxiety about reliability issues. I'm sure all the extra electronics and CPUs add to that stress as well. seems comprable to buying a Ferrari or something, you love the looks and you really enjoy the Italian artwork but deep inside you worry about the cost of putting miles on it. Still,no good reason to be having any buyers remorse. it's badass man.
...& if you ever make a trip to Cali, hit me up!!! Even if you don't wanna meet up & ride that's ok, I'll still email you a map of the cool runs around here!!! :D
look where they put that little tool pouch under the seats asked dealer to put one on and they said it already had it and showed me where it was mine is plugged in right now.
No problems so far but I avoid riding on gravel roads or bad roads. Prior to purchasing the bike I contacted Ducati headquarters with questions about all of the common problems reported on this bike. They said to ride very cautiously on roads with debris, so that's what I will do. After about a good 6 month of riding this bike I will do a proper review and address any problems, just as I have with other bike I've owned so far with this channel.
Don't know yet.. just. I finished the partial tank of gas the bike came with and still have yet to finish the tank of gas I put in it. I will let you all know when I finish the tank. I set up a fuelly account like I dd with all of my vehicles.
About 33-34 mpg so far, but I have a heavy hand and blast a lot on this bike. I keep it in sport mode, if I put it in the slower power mode and just cruise around town I'm sure I can do much better.

CycleCruza a space heater will warm up your whole garage
CycleCruza Do Some Honda CBR 1000 RR videos Plz
nice bike. nice video. keep it up
yeah I bought this bike last fall and it fell on its right side on a hill , crushed my foot and ankle , because I couldnt get my leg outta the way in time. F'n cant walk now , foot is toast.
Who else here skips the first 10 seconds of every one of his videos? lol
A lot of youtubers think they are broadcasting a TV show. Just be quick and to the point. Everyone has to pontificate about the meaning of life. I have 100 other videos to watch. I just want the baby not the labor.
I don’t think anyone thinks what you do is a act. Love you channel and enjoy you sharing your moto experiences. Be safe CycleCruza!
xion 1212 he’s spent five years with motorcycles being one of his center focuses. How do you expect him to not evolve and change? But to say it’s an act...you’re wrong. He’s still excited about bikes. He’s obviously not gonna keep buying cbrs
modds on mine:
bar end mirrors
handle bars that come back 3.5"
2" bar risors
the large puig windshield
fender eliminator
digital box to turn tailights into signals as well
termigoni exhaust and upmap
mid controls
xdiavel handgrips and shorty levers
heated handgrips
I dig the fender. I miss my bike (Ducati Streetfighter). I’m in Alaska and the bike is in MIssouri. Your posts get me through the long winters till I can ride again.
"Jump off the bike," man you need to lay off the Tom Crooze movies. You better turn off ABS too just in case you need to low side it under an 18 wheeler.
What you need to buy is a tow package so that you don't have an emotional meltdown if your bike won't start.

Swerve/brake > jumping
user2kffs 👍😂
its called you don't want to go down with a 100+ pound bike since that leads broken legs and if you can disperse your energy over distance you will be less likely to be hurt
KK: Have you ever been in a MC accident? Shit happens quick when you're moving. Even if you could find time to jump off, you'd be flying in the direction of whatever you're going to hit anyway. Gravity will bring it right back to eye level is short order.

I've been watching for decades and I've yet to see anyone ever leap off their bike to avoid it. And they most always do manage to avoid it.
You can put saddle bags on it so you can fit anything
Luka Banicevic you can, but it looks ridiculous. Lol
They make sportbike saddlebags that would fit this better, i had a sweet pair on my cbr, small, but held a ton of stuff and were waterproof.
the rear license plate is a safety device that keeps it from roll under if you get hit from behind.
Just got a 2012 Ducati. Hopping to Learn some things from ya
If it's a battery tender brand trickle charger, battery tender makes a USB cable that attaches to the bike like you were charging it, but it gives you power for phone, GPS, heated gloves, whatever you need
Wouldn’t it be awesome to have both forward and mids both with controls?
That backrest gotta go!
I love the looks of it!
I say keep it if you like it. Never know you might need it sometime.
@@CycleCruza I love the look of it too
As for the heated gloves you can easily run an extension along the frame to the seat
I fell in love with this bike when I first saw it. Thank you for the video
You could try making a harness that would let your gloves plug into the battery tender wire that’s already on the bike.
Nelson Rigg also makes a small Tail Bag that would probably fit pretty nice on it. i use one on my CB1100 so i can at least throw a few things in.
The pegs... It's a cruiser, most cruisers have forward legs, that allows for the sitting position, . As for a car pulling in front of you, cancel your turn signals!, luckily the diavel has self cancelling. Trunk, carry a backpack, battery, that will be the one thing I agree with you..
tk u for your time to involve us in your extra curricular activity, is most enjoyable.
beautiful choice of bike.
tk u !
awsome vlog CC !!
You should check wwith Dealer there is recall on master cylinder from Brembo and it is including Ducati Diavel 2015/6/7
Welcome to the Ducati family. They certainly are special machines!
So if you can't get the heated gloves going I'd recommend getting heated grips. Really, it is a lifesaver for your hands, and I should know living in Norway. Hell, I even use it on cold summer nights.
I admire a review like this, considering that English is obviously his second language, it ain't half bad
😂 bro the low key jab here is hilarious
With mid pegs and an upper fairing I would love to have a bike like this one.
I’m so happy you’re a Ducati convert. Ducs just have so much more personality as opposed to Japanese bikes. I totally believe you in that you would return it if you were unhappy.
Not a convert yet....lol I love it but we'll see how the reliability is. If I didn't like it the bike would sold by now. lol
The only thing I hate about my motorcycle is that I can't ride it 8 hours every day.
Why not?
There's a connector under the seat. I needed to buy an Optimate SAE adaptor to connect to accessories but it works well
Where? I guess I'll have to look better.
How’s your gas mileage
Reminds me of the day I picked up my Yamaha Bolt. There wasn't even enough room on the bike to store the paperwork.
uh uh. no matter where you positioned the pegs, it won't change the fact and tge feeling that you are riding a wild beast with nothing to hang on to except the handle bar. by the way, always love your vids man. and i know it's late but congratulations on owning a beast
the Ducati reminds me if a new badass version if my Magna, especially the riding position/handlebars...
Say if you get some battery powered gloves that don't hook up to the bike, how about a review of those? I have been looking for a good portable pair that I don't have to wire to my bike.
I might try a pair and do a video on them.
why cant you power your heated gloves from the Sat Nav supply ?
It may draw too much power and blow the fuse, even if it does work, the wire will look ugly when routing it to under seat. I may just get some battery powered gloves or something.
Couldnt you route a wire under the tank somehow ? and you can check power requirement easily ~
Power (in watts) = volts x amps, if your gloves have a power rating on them divide it by 14 and that will give you how many amps they`ll take, as long as your fuse rating is above that your good

And you could always add a top box or side cases for your ride to California, easily remove them when not needed.
I dont see how the battery at the bottom has any benifit to handling. This is actually the only bike i know that has it there
Mark Baum oh okay. Thanks.
Mid controls or not there’s no way your jumping off that bike fast enough to avoid a real fucked up day,especially how fast you’d be going on that bad boy...just hope
When you do it your recording for the channel lol
If he gets into an accident (lets hope not) he will know that jumping would be the worst option.
Exactly, he hasn't been in an accident yet, and has no idea how quickly it all happens. If he has time to think and jump, he has time to brake and move over to avoid the accident in the first place
Pickle Rick Yes!
Actually, a viewer thanked me for my advice on jumping from the bike, save him from death. He saw a truck go through a stop sign and he had no time to swerve so he leaped from his bike and landed on top of the truck while his bike was smashed to pieces. He walked away without a scratch and thanked me in a comment. Also, dirtbikers do it all the time to help avoid injury. I do it on my wr250r when riding off-road, leap from the bike when I feel the bike is about to go down. NINJA STYLE! NOTE: Ask dirtbikers / motocross riders/ freestyle riders, who jump off their bikes to avoid injury and maybe they will help you understand better. Peace!
I want summer. Bikeitus is in full gear. Winter sucks!! I wanna GO FOR RIDE!
May 2016. Kawasaki concours vs deer. 72 mph. I didn't bail and I didn't try to take the ditch. I hung on and it was the best decision I ever made. I went through the centre of the deer and broke it in half. I didn't go down and I walked away with a slightly sore back and covered on my left side in grass. The deer didn't do as well and most of the front of the bike was missing, i.e. fairing and lights. I can't imagine ever jumping off but I guess there might be a situation where you could. I think if I was heading for a truck I would swerve the bike instead of slicing under it after jumping. I thought bailing out was only for planes.
What about those gold color bar ends? I'm assuming those are aftermarket. I guess that's something you could change out if you wanted to.
You should have gotten a Multistrada Dude... It's more your type of bike... ✔
Yes CycleCruza strikes me as a gadget swiss army knife type of dude. Adventure bikes are all about that
he hates adventure bikes
Not true Dude... CC says he loves all types/styles of bikes... 👍😉
I am pretty sure a few videos ago he said they were crap
For your heated gear buy an SAE extender and just tuck the slack into your pocket. Problem solved and you can unplug the extender when parked ✌
Concerned with safety issues, while driving one handed with a selfie stick!? Yeah.....right....
The way I see it. Nice bike, looks good. Only one thing will be to see how reliable it will be.
Very good video….I truly enjoyed it my friend.
If this nitpicky shit is all you can come up with, you're in good shape.
Not sure if you mentioned it before? But did you buy this bike new or used?
J Bouchard
He bought it used
All 5 are very small issues & not worth hating on but I get it, just annoying things that coulda been better from factory. That's one beautiful bike Cruza, looking forward to seeing you ride the balls off it! Be safe!
I personally prefer to bunny hop or wheelie over obstacles in danger situations rather than bail for obvious reasons. Rather than mid pegs, consider jet packs or flip out helicopter blades.
I have only one complaint, and it’s minor:
The bike does not like to go slow! I have to feather the clutch more than I would like in parking lots, etc...🙃
What about servicing costs? I’ve heard it’s crippling and frequent...
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought:
....
Ducati Regreti?
First Ducati Biscotti from YammieNoob, now I come up with Ducati Regreti...
I like that battery placement though. Low center of gravity. Even when you get one of those lighter weight lithium replacements, like from Shorai.
Make a video off trying to Wheelie the cbr or the yamaha
That'd be silly. Drop a sport bike it's not gonna be easy on the wallet.
Thats what the yamaha is for
He ain't tryna die

I havent ridden one of these yet.. but i can imagine its a torque monster in any gear.. can prolly get in 3rd or 4th and ride all day
I have ridden it some days ago and I was very disappointed about the (not given) capability to ride that bike below 3000rpm.
It is a ducati means it is a high rev sportsbike.
Cruising not possible.
Can do 3 in town no problem. Not sure what she means by high revving it red lines at 10
2 things i hate about my cbr600 DOUBLE R- i mean f4i
the non linear powerband, (really jumpy)
wheels not being balanced, and having a 190/55/17 on instead of 180/55 makes the ride sketchhh
U need the termis on it ads hp and sounds way better
Good points. But it is still better than some others.

The best part about mid controls is you can get on top of the pegs and stare down a car about to make a blind turn.
The only thing I dont like about them and I have been on one is the foot controls are more forward. I used to ride bikes with mid controls but now I am to used to rear foot controls. Sexy bikes though. I love italian. I ride a 2016 Aprilia RSV4 RF amd an 06 CBR600RR

Cruza bro. It has 2 wheels just love it. That is a nice bike, I know I could never own one, just don't have the cash. All 3 bikes are nice. I have a 2000 Harley 1200 Sportster Custom , yeah a Harley. Lol. But I love it , no coputer no oil leaks no problems. Its not the fastest but it gets me were I want to go and back. Shit you can't really go over the speed limit or whatever. The only thing I really don't like is the fuel tank. Its like a 2.1 gallon tank and I want to get a bigger fuel tank. Someday I'll get rich. Lmao. If it has 2 wheels I love it. Keep up the truthfull vlogs. Keep it real bro. I'll know I'll be at Thunder in the Valley this year 2018. Can't wait. Then Sturgis in August .
When you come to Cali, hit me up!!
Cruza, u made fun of us harley guys saying we clean our bikes more than we ride. Well now I think u know when u have a bike that has awesome styling, and a sweeeet paint job... keep em coming good job.
lol I just kidding
I know all good fun.
CC，u need new gears for ur ducati, those sportbike gears just dont fit
Cyclecruza maybe take your bike to a Ducati service shop and see if they can wire you up some extra plug ins and look nice without voided your warranty. As for the foot pegs being in the middle I have ridden thousands of miles and it isn't no where near as comfortable as feet forward. You want feel like riding to California with your feet in the middle. Don't believe me bottoe or rent a cruiser and ride a weekend with your feet in the middle position. I've said this already but give yourself more reaction time and enjoy your comfort.
Some viewers said there is a battery plug-in underneath the seat, I did not know that. I will do a follow up video if I can find it. Like I said I love the feet forward BUT I want to add some mid pegs for piece of mind so I can properly bail from the bike if I need to.
You will never have the fastest instinct to just jump off your motorcycle in an accident. When it happens, it will never come across your mind to do it. You're focusing on preparing for the fall. Come on now.
Hey cycle cruza I wonder if you put a set of secondary pegs. What are you gonna do about your back brake lever. Are you just gonna move it to the other pegs. And if so would that void your warranty. Im just wondering because it would be a pain to have to switch to the forward controls if you wanted to use your back brakes
its 2018 and ur cbr is i think 2002 model. already been 15 years. Isn't she banned on the road. I am curious because any vehical more than 15 years is banned on the road. what about that?
How do you extend the sit like that?? I like where can I get it??
I think the plate on the left is a security issue for pedestrians, if you run over someone you could cut his leg due to edges.

Good quality rechargeable winter gloves with no wires CC you’ve obviously got the money.
Just Buy the kit to change the position of the foot pegs or search for others who have done it on their own...
Nice bike! I'm glad you are happy! :-)
Storage on my bikes is the same way! ...enough room for a pack of smokes & a lighter! Ha ha ha! Sucks because they came with nice tool kits, but have no room for them! Peace bro!!!
Hey CycleCruza, I love the Ducati and enjoyed doing a demo ride with this bike and with 160HP on tap... I would rather have this one instead of a harley..LOL

Forward pegs huh? So you got the " I just got kicked in the belly" riding position?
FYI - *New Video: 5 Reasons I Sold My Ducati:* th-cam.com/video/V0rjxZT-dco/w-d-xo.html
If you fit mid and front pegs on you can only change gear from one of them ... doesn't sound too practical ...
6 things you dont like...you mentioned that buying any parts for a Ducati is expensive. I can tell that causes a little extra anxiety about reliability issues.
I'm sure all the extra electronics and CPUs add to that stress as well. seems comprable to buying a Ferrari or something, you love the looks and you really enjoy the Italian artwork but deep inside you worry about the cost of putting miles on it. Still,no good reason to be having any buyers remorse. it's badass man.
...& if you ever make a trip to Cali, hit me up!!! Even if you don't wanna meet up & ride that's ok, I'll still email you a map of the cool runs around here!!! :D
How many miles do you get per tank and how big is the tank?
What is the maintenance like compared to other bikes?
There is a trickle charger connection under the seat....
I figured you would have trouble finding things you don't like about this bike. It's pretty sweet. (and totally different from your other bikes.)
I just pray it stays reliable!
Warm weather bike man. Heated gloves for the wr
What's with the hi-viz? You going to work?
Man if that's are there is to not like about the bike, well sign me up. I love the way this bike looks, and I'm use to forward controls 👍
thought hes was going to mod the bike with at least a exhaust
look under the seat i have a 2016 and it has a plug for battery right there
Nice, I did not know, will look. I guess I can check that off my list.
look where they put that little tool pouch under the seats asked dealer to put one on and they said it already had it and showed me where it was mine is plugged in right now.
How you finding the belt guard on the bike? I find its really cheap and allows for rocks to get in. Had to replace my belt after only 3000 km
No problems so far but I avoid riding on gravel roads or bad roads. Prior to purchasing the bike I contacted Ducati headquarters with questions about all of the common problems reported on this bike. They said to ride very cautiously on roads with debris, so that's what I will do. After about a good 6 month of riding this bike I will do a proper review and address any problems, just as I have with other bike I've owned so far with this channel.
Hows your ⛽ mileage and overall range?
Don't know yet.. just. I finished the partial tank of gas the bike came with and still have yet to finish the tank of gas I put in it. I will let you all know when I finish the tank. I set up a fuelly account like I dd with all of my vehicles.
It gets around 50 mpg. It actually tells you on the screen.
XDiavel Woman wow thats impressive. My bike only gets in the low 30's
Collin Mac
I was impressed as well.
About 33-34 mpg so far, but I have a heavy hand and blast a lot on this bike. I keep it in sport mode, if I put it in the slower power mode and just cruise around town I'm sure I can do much better.
Knew it wouldn't be long. Bet its sold before the year is out.
