Test rides
Just got back from a test ride on a Ducati Streetfighter, what an animal!
Instant acceleration and surprisely quick turn in for a bike with a 58 inch wheelbase...feels totally different from the Superhawk, except for the characteristic v-twin throb at idle, which is amplified by a factor of 10 on the Duc.
Tested a Street Triple yesterday and the riding position and handling are similar, but the Triple has a pussycat engine compared to the Duc.
