Nice purchase - congrats!

This was my first bike, ideal for a noob - heavy, high seat and high CoG 😯

Great fun though 🙂

Indeed, many happy moments with that bike, although I must admit that its replacement was a bit quicker 8)

Mate of mine recently converted one his bikes to a track day special. Not sure what it is, but he keeps banging on about it. It's a Ducati Desmond-something or other.

Since it's now no longer road legal, he had to replace it with another Ducati. This ones a Ducati Panetino I think. Odd that it's named after an Italian muffin.

He's obviously pretty minted - those Desmosedicis are about £40k new. Even used they are over £30k.

I think they're a bit more than that, and that's before you add in the after market exhaust they can't sell as OEM because it's too loud.

I think he affords all this by modesty in other areas; doesn't have a flash car, house is relatively modest etc.

momo - nice one on enjoying your first weekend and very nice bike BTW. Hate to be boring but I'd echo those who have said above re training/refresher course, as that's an awfully long time since you passed your test.

Not quite 'sports' but bloody quick and about to have a spin in the sun 😀
