hey guys,
its been a really long time since i have posted anyhting on xbhp. when i got my first bike, my karizma, i would log on here every day to get the latest info on g2g and other events. then moved onto a 1993 cbr 1000f and now finally my newest, latest and bestest bike..... my ducati streetfighter 1098.
it is a pre owned bike about a year old.......the only way i could afford it by the way. this bike is excatly what the name says. it is a street fighter. there is so much power to this beast that even a momentary lapse in concentration might put you in trouble. the torque is unbelieveble and the front wheel wants to come up to play every time i take off from a green light. the bike was not so comfortable when i first got in with its standard tuning. dont get me wrong, power was still there but the low end low speed in traffic was a nightmare. it kept knocking and i could not get the right gear. first was too low and second was too high. finally i mapped the ecu of the bike using tuneboy(kind of like a power commander) and put akrapovic exhaust system on. now needless to say the power is smooth and refined. slow speeds are not an issue anymore and the power seems to have improved. now a good twist of the throttle and about 70km/h in second gear brings the front wheel up effortlessly. i am totally in love this bike. i bought the bike in its present state and all the after market parts were already put on the bike when i got it. the list of parts is:
levers, bar end, radiator protector, tuneboy ecu mapping, akrapovic exhaust, self ventilating racing clutch, carrozzeria wheels, after market secondary clutch cylinder(red in colour), red plugs for the holes on the ducati frame, brake pads, front sprocket cover, foot controls, speedy moto crash bobbins and i think that is it .... for now.
this may be a biased opinion but i do think that this is by far the sexiest naked bike there is.
