Blummin heck, it took me around a week to clock up 600 miles under 5K revs. It took so much time and felt weird deliberately putting miles on something.

apparently when an engine has been born.

they wire it up to a dyno - and redline it for an hour constantly - to check that its up to power. . . .

i was shocked when i heard this.

was also confirmed by some friends who recently went to visit the ducati factory in europe.

Ducati do that, certainly, but I don't think all manufacturers do it to quite an extreme, though I have no doubt that an engine has been given a bit of stick before it even goes into a bike.

Thats probably why Ducatis fall apart so often.Why have a running in period if the factory does that before fitting the lump?
