Nice. Just don't let it get wet! There's a very positive review in the new issue of Bike magazine. They said it's a great all-rounder and very reasonably priced.

Ducati Spike

I saw 'em at the NEC & loved 'em TBH

I'd have one tomorrow if the finances allowed

I'd keep the SV of course

It's a less stylish, less powerful, likely less reliable Cagiva Raptor, IMHO. OTOH, service and spares should be about ten million times easier to ome by than the Cagiva.

Nice, just the bike Ducati needs to make some money. Doesn't make a lot of power for a 800cc tho. Mind you the air cooled motor looks superb, so they're forgiven. The only thing style wise that I don't like are all the cable ties attaching the wiring to the frame. Looks cheap....
