Re: South Coast UK Dealer

Avoid Alan Lear Motorcycles in Winchester.

A few weeks ago I bought an ST2 as a winter runabout. The previous owner took it there for a new clutch a week before I bought the bike. 300 miles after I bought it the clutch was making weird grinding noises, and slipping under load but not disengaging ...

Re: Multistrada Advice, Please Advise!

I have a 30" inside leg and have no problems as the front of the seat is narrow. You don't need to lower it at all.

Re: Undicided, Seeking Advive

Buy the demo for the termigs alone. The bike should have had all problems dialled out by now, and will obviously be a better price. :D

Re: Are Demo Multis Not A Good Buy

My personal view is that demo bikes are great value and a wise buy as anything that could have gone wrong, generally will have before you get the bike. Buy it for christ sake :mrgreen:

Re: New to the Ducati experience

I think my Ducati is the best bike I have ever had, (and I have had a few).

The bike was serviced, the timing belts were changed and they had changed the ...

Re: New to the Ducati experience

I have had 2 SV650S's and a Pegaso Strada Trail.

Great little bike but

Nowhere near as comfortable
Fi surging issues at around 3 MPH
Soon runs out of puff above 70mph
Doesn't really go off road but is a Trail style road bike. Moto version ...
