multistrada

Bought this a few weeks ago and with the standard system it sounded crap so i bought a mivv decat pipe and thought i would keep the original silencers as i liked the look of the twin small cans but f##k me was it loud if you didn't have ear plugs in you couldn't ride five miles without getting off and feeling like you were punch drunk so i decided to put the spare akra off my mille on.A company called made in metal made the link pipe and hanger for me out of stainless and have made a great job it's not a lot quieter but the sound is further behind you now rather than just behind your heel.

They are good but depending how you ride they do have there limits and some quirks like crap rear brakes the cat on these hugs the engine under the brake res and cooks the fluid and the master is bolted on the engine so heat gets transmitted to it.where have we seen that before? and to bleed it is just like on the mille so i have plenty of experience bleeding them and the clutch fluid goes black in the res as well.The centre stand was on when i bought it and the kick down bar is huge and comes up behind your left foot so you cant easily move your foot back for left handers and i kept knocking my foot off the peg on the road so they cut that down as well.

One of my mates came round last night on one,he'd just traded in his 1050 Stripple for it.

Cracking bike (if you like that style) and comes with plenty of power and electronic everything.

Red sets off the carbon fibre parts lovely I thought,I'm of the opinion that like Ferraris, Ducati's should be RED.

White does look nice though.

Isnt ducatis original colour yellow ??

Yellow and red were the only options early on
