Carlos I said I was smart, never that I had my shit together Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her. "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." |

936 makes 1 more hp but more importantly almost 6 more lb-ft of torque than the 821 motor. 80% of the tq available from 3000 rpm!

Looks nice. A sensible sport bike. Too much straight road around here for me to own one though.  Nevertheless I like it! Someday I should move closer to the coast where the roads are more conducive to riding a sport bike.  |

That close up of the gauges shows what appears to be optional grip warmers... |

So I have to ask. Since that "two pipe on the right side" exhaust also appears on the Euro version 959 but not on the USA version would this bike follow suit? It's not the most aesthetic exhaust design and those of us in the US could hope for a different exhaust but since when has that stopped Ducati? I could be very interested in one of these but it would be going a bit backward for me at this point. That doesn't mean this isn't a very nice bike though.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

Checked the engine specs. Its like a 4 valve 944 with a 94mm bore and 67.5 stroke, nearly the old 900/94 stroke. You can see how they have tried to make a real world motor with 11° Testa in ST2 formula. Sacrificing top end for usable torque for a good street motor is a good idea. I like long stroke motors for the street. I wonder how much crank weight it has for that substantial feel at legal speeds? I might test ride one and report, but I guess you guys will get em first.

Please do test ride one and report back. |

Just called the dealer and first shipment is for pre-order customers in first quarter of 2017 with next shipment for the second quarter. They said they will have a demo bike but cant say when.
Guy at shop sounded excited as interest was high in a real world bike.
Maybe it will fill the gap between the Racers and Adventure tourers. We'll see.

This is exactly where it sits for me. My options were limited to the Monster, since I'm too short for a Multi and too old for a superbike. |
