Never presume fella [emoji6] i have ridden one and ive stripped the forks on one, there dressed up as ohlins but there a bit llike a lamb in wolfs clothing, I bet my arse my base suspension is as good and it's one of the reason I did my own take on the pp based on a base bike because Ducati using the ohlins name to flog there pp, customers think it's the bees knees [emoji107]
PP should have the ttx36 ttx39 combo from Ohlins for the price Ducati asks for. Also a more aggressive cam setup for top end horsepower to match the XR (the road focused competitor), and a proper midrange fueling upgrade (check rexxer tuning) along with the enduro slip on which looks gorgeous.
I just bought a new base model, added a Ducati top box and very happy. Cruise control, centre stand and heated grips etc. Traded in my Diavel Strada, felt like a change. Looking forward to a 4 day trip down Southern Ireland when I'm home in August, hope to post a few pics....
Your not comparing like for like, the pp is built from the S model not the standard, so it not 6 k more like 3 - 4 k , but of course the skyhook is not used , overall a great bike but pricey none the less
I'm very happy with mine... Can't wait to get the first service out of the way and fit the de-cat pipe...
