Default ducati on stabilisers?

funny thing i saw today, ducati 749, going through tottenham. he saw me coming up behind him but i kept my distance..he thrashed it to the lights then nearly fell off when he tried to stop. green light floors it again(im behind him) gets to the roundabout then hobbles round about 5 mph with the handlebars waggling..i started laughing then on a more serious note i thought "this bloke cant control this thing" geez hope hes still alive

I hope he was just showing off for you, and doesn't really ride like that all the time. If so, his bike career may be short lived. Silly git, should be on a 125cc of some sort.

Sounds like a case of more money than sense to me.

Does sound suspicious. If you seem him on a Fireblade tomorrow, remember to follow him to his lock-up
