The advert says "Delivery to UK mainland can be arranged". Where is it?
Very nice though and a Ducati should always be red! Norwich, which is clearly "abroad". I think most dealers stick to mainland to avoid shipping to NI and the islands. The red ones have one advantage: black wheels!. I sat on a white one and the red wheels are a nightmare to keep looking red. |

That’s a very good looking bike.
Strikes me as more weekend toy than all weather commuter, but so do the other options.

Probably what most are bought for but the only time I get to ride is the commute so I refuse to do it on some belt driven comfy old-man bike, possibly with three wheels. I'd sooner suffer the pain and discomfort of commuting on an overheating, wrist crushing, knee bending sports bike than own a bike I don't actually want to ride. I assume I am mad. |

No, I assume you are someone who relishes feedback and tactility in life, and are willing to compromise for that.

Makes sense to me! |

Made sense to me until we chopped the 370Z in for a diesel Micra!

The Micra doesn't have the feeling that its going to stick around for all that long now either. Last night's complaints were the lack of bootspace (not helped by there being 4 packs of nappies in there already, long story, not ours! Clearly not the car's fault but being used as an excuse to moan) and the height/awkwardness of the 'hidden' rear door handles. Again not the cars fault.

They're called TENA Men and it's nothing to be ashamed of! |

They're called TENA Men and it's nothing to be ashamed of!  Deal as good as done on Ducati. Just waiting for my buyer on Saturday then I pay for Duke; it gets delivered. 6 month warranty: £1000 per claim up to the value of the bike. Should see a Ducati through the winter....  |

Thanks Bob, when I get t your age and need them I'll bear that advice in mind.
Duke through the winter, good luck with that.
