Ducati is very nice.

Just checking is there a 400cc Supersport ducati, with full fairing? How many are there in Singapore?

Hoping to own one such bike, instead of the naked Monster400.

 

Anyone knows of anyone selling this 400cc supersport?

Yes, in fact there is such a bike. Just imagine a 900SS with single front disc and single exhaust.

 

 

BUt the only 2A Ducati available on the roads now is the underpowered, under-estimated Monster

Ducati is too much for you to handle, stick to your wave125, if not upgrade to RXK135 or RXZ135, they are cheap and good. Sorry... RXZ135 too ex, i think out of your budget...

Wah I want to buy maxam you also object, now I dreaming of Ducati 400SS you also object.

Wah if one day I buy any of the 2A bike, I will surely jio you out and make you jealous one.

Neither is their Superbike series.....

Could it be the demise of the Ducati line.

[red rocket]

hmm... concentrate too much on GP so much so that superbike is being neglected?

[Guest nE0]

Time for the V4 Desmosedici superbikes in WSB!

[red rocket]

That'll will mean the end of the 999 series

Which will mean big discounts! :thumb:

 

I don't see that happening anytime soon anyway, cos each Desmosedici costs like 100k... They will sell just enough to qualify the bike for WSB, then see if it kicks everyone's arse before killing the 999.

 

I think they've ran out of numbers tooo, so whats next?

Hello!

 

Change belts juz S$70?

Not the horrendous S$700++?

If this the case then the Ducatis is my next bike liaoz...

The $700 is most likely the total amount of the full servicing. It covers all necessary parts and labour cost, courtesy of Minerva, the local Duc agent.

Kindda agree......I was joking with RedRocket that the race at Portugal, to get a Ducati into top 5, you need 2 bikes have to crashout (Sete & Colins). So how often do we get 2 bikes ahead of Ducati Marlboro to crash???

 

Anyways, I like the way Carlos is riding the Duc.....but it's only 2 races, so let's see how he flare for the rest of the session.

 

And on that very same day, I dropped my bike..... Spend $200 worth of parts, and DIY back home the next day......

Anyone changed swingarm bearings for a Single swingarm Ducati???

 

Mine's shot.....need to roughly know the price. Found out today when I was putting on my tyres from 7.

Without the cost of the bearings, the labour cost is $200 from Kallang Cycle. Bearings around $30 for everything if you source outside Min.....

For those who use the open-type clutch cover the cluch springs will rust starting soon after you put on new ones... the solution is to install Stainless steel clutch springs... interested parties please ask micheal @ kallang cycle

:thumb:

 

Highly recommended.

 

Ya Ya!!

Very nicely fitted. Anyway, I did not add the washers u mention but it still fit swee swee.

 

 

I put in washers I got from my work Mechanic for so long (10 yrs man...), I still feel better with a washer underneath any fasterner, ha ha.

[ktkt]

Think will be the end of the road for the Vtwin 999 evolution.

Perhaps they will lighten up the bike and sell them for a few more series

before introducing a road-worthy V4 desmosedici.

 

 

Turning point in ducati history here. Make or break.

 

The MV Agusta's F4 line looks like it's doing fine now that Proton has pumped

in cash. *albeit the exhorbitant price*

Is everything ok??

How the pit stop??

[NoLogicOne]

Just a bit of scrap on my knee and elbow....my wife a bit of bruise here and there, but we are both okay. Happened at Pitstop.....after MotoGP. Still getting used to the new steering angle, and seems like making the turn from standstill is a tad too tight, cause the moment the steering stop hits, the bike just fall. And er.....I have a pillon, so I could not kick the bike up, so end up have to fall lor....

 

Now Only fairing scratches I cannot DIY.....by the way, any good fairing repair shop that uses a tougher material other than the brittle patty??? I wanna do my fairing somewhere else.....not the same shop anymore.
