Hi - First Ducati - V4s

  1. You did an impressive number of miles in the time you had it, given that! I will slather it in ACF50 - they do seem to fare well from the photos of the higher mileage examples I have seen. Hopefully it won't be an impossible sale at 50k miles in 2-3y - at least there should be more with that mileage on the market then!

    I am a few cm taller and will fit a little deflector on the top of the original - collecting the originals this weekend. I'm used to a tall screen on my GS, and on the high setting I was wanting just a little more! Good to know, it'll be interesting to try SBS, hopefully preferable. I'd like them to feel a little more confidence inspiring. Thanks so much for the info :)

    Let's stay in touch - maybe I can buy your current one in the future :joy:

  2. > I want to use the hell out of it and not be too precious of it!

    I can confirm this is the correct way to ride. :upyeah:

    I'm also a new-to-Ducati owner as of Monday, and like you I intend to ride the year round, through the crusty salt :scream: to 50k, hopefully beyond. Let's hope we both make it without having to buy another one!

    Let the experiment begin...
