Lost Coast: I ran it last week, with my MTS sent in 'enduro' mode.....and it still beat the crap out of me! Some of it is scenic, but....no thanks. 199 to 96, via the mnt route/Happy Camp is great. 96 to Willow Creek and then 299 to Weaverville and then 3 to 36 and on into Red Bluff. Once...

Really? I'll try again.

I pm you....

And how's your Tuono treating you? & sorry 'bout the semi-done fish.

Superbike mag (British mag) tested both on a ZX-10R last year, on the street and the track. It was a push, but they leaned to the PR3's.

Super Streetbike magazine tested 'high flow' air filters vs stock vs no filter. The difference was .8 HP! between high flow vs stock!!! No filter picked up 1.4 HP....and this was on a ZX-14R!!! I'm sticking with the stock filter.

After my first track day last year, I bought a track bike...a Gixxer 600 (more on that later). The bike had been used as a ski a few times (no biggie, as I used it as a ski my first track day!), but was in excellent 'track' shape. PLUS, it had Ohlin cartridges up front, Ohlin rear and a host of...

I bought a red CBX in June 1979! Rode it six years and sold it for a '84 Ninja....should have never sold the CBX!

FWIW.....when I decided to sell my FZ, the ONLY bike I considered was the MTS. I briefly considered the new Tuono, but since the majority of my ridding is long day rides + several 3-10 day rides/year, the no luggage/wind protection of the Tuono killed that idea. IF the Jap's built a MTS clone...

I picked up my '12 MultiStrada on Aug 24....3 months later I had 5000 miles on it! Haven't ridden it much in Dec, due to the weather (RAIN!!) So.....after all those miles on my FZ and now ridding a MTS for a few months, do I have any comments/opinion? YUP!! 1) I paid $8400 OTD for my new...

BTW...I sold my FZ to a very good friend (he'd been lusting for it for a long time) and bought the bike I'd been lusting for since I first laid eyes on 'her'....a Ducati MultiStrada!

Heh, Heller.....still happy with ur Tuono? I'd loved to hear your opinions & comments about the bike after living with it for awhile.

I paid $8400 OTD for my '08 in Nov 09. Add in the Ohlin (on sale for $970), Russell seat, Givi V35 + a host of other stuff (SS lines, levers, etc) and I've got $XXXXX in it. The MTS OTD price was $22,795 and I paid $21,500. Ducati has special financing, between .9 & 1.74%.....Which closed the...

I'm posting a comparison because I was asked too by several members. Yeah the fueling issue is a bunch of BS (no, I don't blame Ducati, but our ridiculous EPA, who write the ridiculous emission laws!!!) and can be fixed....it's just that we HAVE too. My FZ is a hell'eva bike! I rode it over...

About two weeks above, I posted that I was selling my nicely equipped 08 FZ (Ohlin, Russell seat, Givi V35, SS lines, etc) and buying a Ducati MTS. I would have looked at a Tuono, but lack of wind protection + hard bags put me off. My FZ went to a good friend and I picked up the MTS on Aug...

Since the nearest dealer is 250+ miles away....and I'm taking off for a 2000 mile trip very shortly, I'll definitely give a ride report and compare it to my very nicely set up FZ.

I test rode it last week and it was simply stunning! Cycle World said, 'comfort of a touring bike, with the performance of a sport bike!'. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Last night I sold my very nicely set up '08 FZ1. It went to a good friend of mine and she'll have a nice home. Am I getting out of m/c? Ahhhh.........NO! I'll be picking up my new bike this weekend.....(drumroll please!).......... Ducati Multistrada!!!!!

Hellgate...you read what Spies had to say afterwards? Ahhh, he wasn't to happy with Yamaha! Not the team....but the factory.

I don't care how many times you watch it....the effect is the same--OMG!!!!
