I got the call today, "your bike is here mate!" Yay... I rejoiced! Fudged out of work early, hired a driver to take me to the dealer (cause my friends aren't really my friends apparently) and got to the dealer. Went through the paperwork nonsense and off I went on my shiny new red baby. After about a mile the smile started to fade from my face as I acknowledged the fact that this bike had way more than the "flat spot" everyone is talking about. Mine was down right stumbling from clutch engagement to 4k. I tried to endure thinking maybe it was still cold but in the end I had to go back. After returning, one of the tech's rode it and he agreed. Apparently there is an issue with the throttle bodies having to be sync'd properly. The Ducati tech was actually there when I picked up mine. Sooo long story short I returned the bike, got the Monster 1100s loaner and I'll be back tomorrow night to pick up the bike all over again.
I sure hope its better the second time around.......
