Sat on one of these at last years NEC show - wasn't prepared for just how big it was 'up front'. It's good looking but not pretty, if that makes sense.

Is that the Carbon? It looks fantastic. I just had a look at the specs and what I found more impressive than the bhp/torque was the size of the rear tyre 
The conventional wisdom is that too wide a rear tyre makes the bike difficult to turn. All I can say is that Ducati have some clever engineers as the bike turns in very easily. A little bit more experience with the bike and I will have eliminated the chicken strips.

Got my pegs down today which was quite cool. I don't have sliders on my textiles so no knee
Getting quite happy know with hanging my arse off the seat when cornering and feeling the rear end wobble on corner exit
The bike is extremely compliant it has to be said.
