The mini SF - Ducati.ms

So what's the story with the new mini SF coming with an odd ball one off 180/60 rear tire? Ducati seems obsessed with crippling these bikes with rear tire oddities.

The MiniMe, I think that will stick. The rear swing arm on the MiniMe is different than the Big Daddy. I guess when it's released, we'll hear more from actual riders.

I guess you could always go to a standard 55 and raise the ride height to compensate. Please don't tell me it doesn't come with an adjustable ride height link!

I think the ride height is there, but it's difficult to get to with the pull start cord in the way.

i think they are changing the '12 sfs's swingarm to the same one. supposedly it's exactly the same in terms of performance/weight, it's just cheaper to make.

and duc said that the new rear tire is supposed to be more comfortable

I do wonder if they changed the swingarm to prevent the tire rubbing issue.
