Ride more worry less.

[LeonHaslam]

Streetfighter tank is 16.5L. I m getting 15-16km/L. Street riding in sg. Ever hit 30km/L while cruising at 100km/h on Msia. Clock 120km and pump 4 liters only.

 

that's good news!!!

i'm trying to maintain cruising at 140km/h on the NSHW tmr....

[yammy]

Then price wise u think should get a second hand de or 1st hand?

But de only thing not nice is go fast jialat eh no windshield leh.

 

There are 2 Black SFS for sale on New Bike Mart. Price wise very reasonable. The Streetfighter is a nice ride and not too extreme to ride around town on.

Hi Fesa,

 

Looking at yr posting and after last nite meetup with you,i fully agree that the onus lies on us to be sensitive to pple around us,mainly d music comin frm d termis.

We are living in a highly densely(double superlative)populated society where,one man's meat is another man's poison,please try as much as possible to shorten yr warm up time,if possible, jz move off slowly after u fired up yr duke,same goes when we r returnin back to our home,shut off yr engine as soon as you can cz this wil minimise antangonising residents in d wee hours,esp those with infants n little ones,complaints wil only result in the authorities going on a campaign,so i feel educating and sharing this post of wisdom from Fesa will helps us bikers in general.If anyone frm d authorities is following our thread,we want to let them know we are responsible riders n we r trying our best in minimising inconvenience to others,lastly,Desmo n Termis are like siamese twins,we didnt make it happen,they were born that way...my 3 cents worth....Ride more,worry less,i like that, Thanks Fesa

[fesa7044]

alamak...like that dont ride the bike out so much liao. Make it night riding. hmmmm

CIAO

[Jan]

Agreed with EITigre & CSM storyline.....ducati born to be that way..so rider muz learn how to tame it to suit the surroundings....ride safe...

[IreneVXR]

Fesa, I usually can't make it Fridays

The coming 2 Fridays i will be out of SG! How to?!!!

[ohayo]

ohayo,last nite,didn't see u ?

 

 

Cannot ah. Gonna work long hours on the next day. Fri meetup is a bit harda for me. I am only free on the weekend ah

[t28]

t28 make an appearance,been quite a while , tells me his ss , starts 1st time after weeks of covering it up !

 

And still shinny! Heehee.... To my surprise, this SS has a great temperament, starts up everytime 1st time even after a month. In the past I always imagine Ducs are attention seeking brats that will act up if not being ridden much.

 

About being responsible? Everytime i go home on Fri nites, I cut my engine from the main gate and push my bike 50M into the estate so as not to wake up my neighbours. Start-up also short time and ride off slowly.... I ride slow anyway, so no pblm!

 

Lastly, thanks Jan & Fesa for the valet service welcome!

[Sn0w_MaN]

Hey duc.. Sorry didn't join u guys on fri. Got a farewell meet up for 1 of our Cbr mates ( theguy who came and left) anyway I saw fbf20 while on our way to suntec he is Riding a duc.. I say hi in Case u dunno who I am I am riding the green and black Cbr

 

I will catch up with u guys again k..

valet service?

u 're welcome, old chap!

juzz to add on to what u 've commented?

i 've noticed the ducati population 've grown considerabably but hope it attracts the right crowd.cos its now more affordable due to the fact dat some japanese brands 've already nudge the 30k mark , lets not run away from the the fact dat though its less x'pensive to buy its still x'pensive to maintain,

its a premium brand after all.

its a name where peeps aspire to own not something ppl buy bcos its affordable , either u dream of it or u dun !

hope it dun deteriorate into like the alfa romeo situation a couple of years back where the main stream buy into the brands but neglect the costly maintenance then later bad mouth the marque when problems start???

but i would say ducati 've maintain the price quite well,i bought my 1st ducati in the late 90s for 33k(916bp)which is easily a 10k difference then & the price seems to stay like dat all dis while .

 

 

world superbike race1 @5.30pm ch 114

Abbondanza Monza!

Monza, where the velocity is high and the fences are barbed.

It will surprise no one who has followed this web site to learn that we wholeheartedly feel that the World Superbike round at Monza is one of the greatest races—and venues—in the world. Truly, it is one race and one racetrack that you should see before you die. From the path leading to the old banking to the amazing Parabolica, Monza offers so much more than many other tracks which proclaim to be the global nucleus of racing.

 

Also, it's fast.

a ducati DESMOSEDICI RR @ fuji circuit,when it runs out of numbers!!!(check it out)

 

Here are various top speed numbers as recorded Friday at Monza.

 

 

Max Biaggi, Aprilia 206 mph(331.5kph)

 

 

Marco Melandri, Yamaha, 203 mph(326.6kph)

 

 

Tom Sykes, Kawasaki, 202 mph(325.0kph)

 

 

Leon Haslam, BMW, 201 mph(323.4kph)

 

 

Jon Rea, Honda, 201 mph

 

 

Carlos Checa, Ducati, 198 mph(318.6kph)

 

Michel Fabrizio, Suzuki, 198 mph

 

dat was friday,max was clock @ 334'8 on sat !!!

The Ducatis have a clear disadvantage at Monza, unable to benefit from the extra drive out of corners that the larger capacity V-twin provides leaves the 1198Rs well down the order. Championship leader Carlos Checa starts from 11th, the first of the Ducatis, with Effenbert Liberty's Sylvain Guintoli behind him on the 3rd row of the grid. Checa's strategy must be to grab onto the chasing group, and use the slipstream of the faster bikes to score whatever points he can at Monza. Checa's advantage may yet come with the tires, the Ducati seemingly gentler on the softer - faster - tire than the four cylinders appear to be. The Althea Ducati rider will be aiming to grab onto whoever's coattails he can - Leon Camier is the most likely candidate, but a little bit of luck may allow Checa to latch on to Corser or Melandri - and take whatever points are available. Losing anything less than 30 points at Monza will count as a win for the Spaniard

so,its a damage limitation round,mate!

ducati / harley 've always got dats immunity status in them , dun screw it up dat status!!

 

Good point Bro Fesa!!

 

Back from my maiden trip on my 1198 up to Malacca (Sat/Sun)

 

Truely says that the bike is on the highway too!!!

(although beaten by strong winds coarse the bike is super light PLUS a featherweight rider, needs to slow down at certain points or else i'd be blown off from her!! )

 

Just to share with you guys on my bike performance?

 

SAT:

Gelang Patah to Machap: she consumes 4.8L only!! ( speed 140 ~ 180km/h)

Machap - Jasin exit - Kampong Roads: she consumes 8.6L (milage clocked 148km mixed speed

of 160-210km on NSHW and winding roads in kampong area of about 60-100km/h)

Consumption: 17.2km per Litre

 

SUN:

Malacca Town Centre - Pagoh R&R: she consumes 5.2L (Distance about 86km)

Consumption: 16.5km per Litre

Pagoh R&R - Gelang Patah R&R: She consumes 7.9L (Distance 141km with an average speed of 165km/h)

Consumption: 17.8km per Litre!!!

 

Just that the 15Litres tank is too small for long trips....feels like investing on a 21Litres tank!!!

Sadly, by IU bracket broke while on my way up due to vibrations...

 

Any 1 care to share with me where to get an IU bracket for my ride? need to replace urgently!! Thanks in advance!!

I repent my Sin as on Saturday, Washed the bike in a MSCP and I have to use my cash card 4 times on water!!! since I don't have any hose I have to do a fill bucket and run routine like I was puttin out fire. :cheeky:

 

It was tiring but the 848 is Shiny as hell

 

Haslam, wow the bracket breaks? i thought it was made out of metal

 

Yeah I reckon the Tank could do more then 15 Ltrs.

Perhaps you could help wash my bike too?

yea...apparently, i'm just using a simple (cheap) straight piece of metal to hold my IU....

due to vigorous vibrations (i think the ladies should love it) on the highway, it broke man...

 

i wonder if u install the 21L tank on an 848, i guess u guys could reach KL without stopping?
