Last one has a false neutral between 5-6 gear (was told it was a Ducati thing and would have to get used to it) I sort off have, just be firm with up shift and down shirt between 5-6 gears.ĥ. Front pegs are too narrow I put SM-MOTO ones on mine they gave rubber inserts and are very comfortableĤ. Not the best bike for taller riders say 5-8 max down and a great females bike as well.ģ. The seat is made of timber! not really but is very hard, it looks comfortable but NOT, I had mine redone to suit my needsĢ. Service intervals are 15000 kms (thats gold) but still keep an eye on chain tention, tyre pressure and engine oil - if you ride off road you may need to change oil at 10,000 (or less depending on how dusty the roads are)ġ. Standard suspension works well but can be abit hard on poor road surfacesĦ. Riding position is an upright riding position (almost trail bike like - with its wide bars)ĥ. The motor is a sweet joy in traffic and on the open road its exciting down low and you can easily cruise on 120kms (A small Dart screen makes a BIG improvement on the buffeting)Ĥ.

Brakes are good for the size and weight of bike and ABS works well.ģ. Handling on both the Twisties and light off road - the standard Perilli MT60RS tyres are fantastic they are 60/40 but on road feel like 90/40 (yes I know it doesn't add up ?) The only down side they wear very quickly I've only done 5000kms and both front and rear need replacing.Ģ. The only other bike I can compare to is the battered ER6N that I learned on, which wasn't a bad bike to be fair.ġ. As you can probably tell, I have recently passed my test and this is my first bike, so my terminology and description may be lacking in expert finesse. 5) small fuel tank with no guage until low. However that said, it is well planted on the stand where the Triumph was almost already upright, which the owner felt could easily topple the bike by the slightest nudge. Sat on a friend's Street triple and it practically stood up on its own. 4) side stand has he'll of a lean and it it is a bit of a lump to throw upright. 3) the clutch can be a bit snatchy when finding rev point coming out of corners etc. 2) finding neutral can be a tricky one, sometimes it's on but the light doesn't show, other times, it's back in gear. The negative points are 1) the usual ducati upkeep on services ( I wish my research hadfound this out). The stock exhaust doesn't disapoint to the degree that want to change it immediately. My bro in law who is a sports bike rider claims to feel 'cool' on it, and I agree. I personally find it comfortable, but haven't put many miles in for a fair comment on long distances. A great looking bike that turns heads and gets people interested.
