If you go and talk to a few Ducati owners and ask them about all the above problems they will agree with them and add a few! The VTR is a different animal compared to 4 cylinder bikes and you have to adjust. Apart...

low speed stalling

Hi mate I had exactly the same problem when I bought my brand new Storm back in March. I took it back (P&H Motorcycles-Crawley) and they said they had made a slight adjustment and that as the engine gained some miles and lossened up it would get better. However it didn't. At it's first service I...

I never met Wayne either and it takes ya breath away when you hear of a biker losing his life.

My regards go to his family and all his friends and anyone who knew him.

RIP Wayne
