Nice. You made me laugh with the new Multi V4 price. Those are $30k now before you start adding destination and whatnot. As to the rear brake, does your Monster's work? Neither of my Ducs functioned. OTBS, I never had to put pads on them. The Italians reckon there's no need for rear brakes on a sport bike. You hit the front brakes mildly hard and the rear wheel's off the ground anyway. Prior to ABS, rear brakes used to be downright dangerous on sporty bikes. If not braking with the front hard enough to get the rear completely off the ground, it gets really light back there. Very easy to lock it up like that and get the bike fishtailing uncontrollably. Never was an issue with my Ducs as I could stand on the brake pedal with little effect. Now that everything has ABS, Ducati could enable their rear brakes again. But itza heritage compagno!
Yep. It’s crazy how much all the handling fees are now. Yes. My Monsters rear brake works great now since they did the recall. My Streetfighters rear works just fine as well. I get what you mean about hi-siding. I use mine most in slow speed riding. I’m really careful on the 848. No ABS on that one. Thanks for still being around and enjoy your Labor Day!
Congratulations! Nice Ride!!!
Thank you sir! Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!
