Could just be a messed up starter or the connection between the battery and starter could be corroded/loose. Put it on the stand in 6th gear and see if you can rotate the engine by rotating the wheel.

Ah ic your point, makes sense. Lets wait for the dyno results to see what kind of monster ducati has managed to stuff into this monoque. Even dyno readings will not give a clear indication unless they are done back to back with both bikes. Same dyno, same day, same temp etc etc. Not that these...

BMW s1000 RR is rated at 193 hp and 82.5 lb/ft of torque, Ducati 1199 is slated to be 195 hp and an earthmoving godly 98.5 lb/ft of torque. Ofcourse i agree we have not seen a dyno chart yet to really know how close they actually will be, but why do you think it will not be in the same league as...

You would have to maintain insurance over the course of the transfer because titile is in your name. What happens if the bike is stolen or garage catches on fire or kick stand snaps and the bike is damaged? If buyer expects you to fully reimburse him incase of damage then you need to figure out...

Why are you running a 190/55 ? you should be at 180/55 for your bike. There is a significant price difference too from what i remember. That is a liter bike tire, most riders avg about 2500-3000 miles on the ducati board with a 1098/1198 with that particular tire . You got more because you dont...

What teams race in motogp are prototypes, not an actual indication of their production bikes. Superbikes are close to production specs and based on what you see on the street. If you think that when you go buy a 1000 cbr from the dealer you get Casey Stoners bike well then i have nothing to say...

I ride a Ducati and have never defended it, infact i agree myself it is not the fastest bike in the world, it is probably not the best handling bike, looks are subjective i am sure some people find it hot others loathe it. Ergonomics are not friendly, chews up tires like crazy, is very finicky...

Little bit more on the engine for people that are curious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7SKvsW_0qo&feature=channel_video_title

15 k mile service interval as opposed to 7.5 k mile service interval on the 1x98. $ wise 20 k base, 25 k for s and 30 k for special edition tricolore. I am not sure if they will have an R model this year because ducati factory is pulling out of superbike racing for 2012. 25 more hp (195) and 25...

Can you say that you picked up a parts bike and used the pieces of that and have someone make you a bill of sale for a parts bike ?

Ron, I just know i wont replace Ginger for anyone :)

Lol well said :)

Lol not really but extreme bike control though, way better than the cop riding around pylons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B9L5XkPr0A&feature=player_embedded

Freakeyguy, could you have spaced the outside chocks further apart to avoid staggered formation? I understand that might run out of room to put foot down while loading it and too tight but can it be done? Thx

When/Where are you meeting up for a ride before the show, if you are still planning on it.?

The Less maintenance schedule basically half frequency of the previous schedule started with 2007 models. the 99x series is prior to that maintenance schedule so do not judge based on it. Dry clutches are not the easiest to launch and with a little bit of abuse you can wear them out way quicker...

Hi, what size gear do you wear, i have some you can temporarily borrow possibly depending upon size.

i actually took that seriously for a sec :).. Sorry for asking directions but i am new in the area! Lol you will know when you see my plates tomorrow. Thanks again for the info!

Hey! I would be really interested in joining up with you folks for a ride. Is there a consensus on meet up time and what is the location ? Thanks :) P.S i put stabilizer in the bike 2 days ago and thought that was it for this year but glad to see we have a few more good days still in the mix!

Sounds like i missed a good day of riding!! lol i like wheelies ! :)
