I rode a guys Ducati GT1000 from work about a month ago.Very nice bike.We did a role on in top gear from about 65 or 70mph.His Ducati did walk away from my 865Speedmaster,but not as fast as I thought it would.He said after riding my Speedmaster that he really liked the low end torque.The Duc seems like it has to be above 4000rpms to have the power come on.I did like it.Very nice bike.His Duc is School Bus Yellow in color,I call it that anyway.I really like the color on his Duc,but he wants to paint it.His has the clip ons.Clip-ons are NOT for me,he is getting tired of them already and is going to raise them up somehow.His does have a fuel problem,and so far they have not straightened it out.It has been to the same shop four times.This time he is taking it to another shop that has a dyno they can run it on and check out the fuel mapping,etc. He does like the bike,just does not like the fuel problem.His bike likes to backfire quite abit he tells me.I never had it do it to me while I rode it.I rode it for a good 30 minutes straight.I still think they are nice bikes.
