very nice allthough i think the bars would be a strech for me

Thanks, I'm 6'4, so they are actually very comfortable. I went to the apes from beach bars. With the beach bars I would get shoulder pain on long rides.

[harley dave]

yes i had beach bars on one of my road kings but they gave me shoulder pains ,changed to mini apes and soooooooooooo comfortable

@summ3rhays:

The bike looked solid.  I like the upgraded components, Brembo and Ohlins.  It was comfortable to sit on and was more forgiving than my Sport Classic.

Thanks.

I get the impression that a medieval torture rack would be more forgiving and comfortable than a Sport Classic.

i can do that myself in minutes

When it comes to tools, my most recommended one is this:

What do you think @Haddtoo 555

I'd make room in my toolbox for that, looks highly effective, thanks for sharing.  @Aetas

Ducati have unveiled the DraXter concept in Verona, which is a drag racing take on the XDiavel with a dubious name and a suitably pretentious video.

I like the XDiavel, but would swap out the forward controls with a set of mid or rearsets given half a chance. Yes, I know, I'm missing the point. But a production version of the DraXter (ideally with a more sensible name) would very much appeal.

There are more photos of the DraXter on Ducati's Facebook page.

Totally agree.

@Giles there's a first ride review of the Yamaha XSR900 at MCN. It's the big brother of the XSR600 you've got an eye on, and sounds promising.
