It’s a damn shame that I have more pictures of this week old bike stripped and in pieces, than whole and complete lol. Hey… She went through all the upgrades in a few days
Either way, I’ll go on record to say……. The only issue I have with this bike, is the seat. It’s disrespectful how much it hurts. (Next upgrade)
Past that, I can agree on the “new Gixxer” title. It does everything WELL just like the older Gixxers did.
Do I love the Ducati brand. Yes.
As a dedicated track built missile, I’d own another. I wouldn’t own one as a street bike. (Maybe a Multistrada!) Until they get the heat management under control. After the scorched 1299S & V4R I’ve tried.
So to this bike, Do I already enjoy this BMW more for city living, street / aggressive runs and twisties.
A Solid YES
Comfortable, fun, ease of use, plenty of power, build quality, huge market for customizable parts etc etc.
