Hi,
My first official post (apart from the intro)...
.
I am hunting for a new set of wheels presently, which got me thinking.
I am a returning rider (38 y.o.) and have not ridden for 10 years. Previously I have ridden 250 two strokes and up to 600cc without any drama, for a 6 year period (i.e. no accidents - am a risk averse rider).
I want to start test rides shortly before making a purchase. This got me thinking - being out of riding for a while, and having never ridden a ducati, what advice can you please give me of what to look out for in relation to the bike on the day of the test ride: e.g. brakes grab sharply, accellerates quick, turns in sharply etc (looking to buy a 748).
Have looked at other threads on the 748 but after explicit advice and wanting to tap into others experience.
Thanks in advace for your responses.
Kind regards
Tim
