Too New To Test Ride

For me some bikes are easier....hyper is easy to turn, RSV4 is not, really not....top heavy, useless turning circle...

 

... which is where the skill comes in!

 

I bow down to your superior gymkhana bike riding knowledge ! - the road isn't wide enough to turn an RSV4 in....

 

I'm just messing you about. I'm sure an RSV4, like a 999 is a bastard to turn around on a normal road. But they is race bikes for the street, innit.

 

Heh - yes.....if one thing im fast finding out that full on race bikes are exactly that....not much fun in doing the usual real world stuff....but, I just cant bring myself to sell it because on those occasions when it gets used for the right conditions...a roads, motorways, the TT (mountain section) it really cant be beaten...bloody love the thing...!

 

Reversing up hill is difficult for me

 

I'm away to try that. I will report back

 

Only works of you act like a hillbilly rapper and have back to front cap on

 

I'm not going that far.

Seriously, he back them in, in case he needs to get away.

 

Never ever ever ever to be tried with a 916 (and variations of).

 

Well, tried it, no luck, bike didn't move an inch. Tried with the cap on, sunglasses on, bumped into the door, too dark for sunglasses. Cursed a bit, sweated a bit, busted a cap in the dogs arse. Still no movement, except I think I now have a hernia.

 

Got a mate who has always done it. 748r, 999, SS and Panigale, no bother. They do it im dealerships all the time

 

gonna show the guy that on Monday,, I just know he aint gonna be impressed, !! ( but I am )

 

Sooner or later this will happen

 

I'm going to cry

 

So standard practice in a dealership? Fair enough, I had thought ducati dealers had better tech lifts than bull ignorance :Wideyed:

 

Go on, cry
