For all of you that are considering a HM like I was, here is some beta from the first 1000km !

First off some background on me. Dirt biking for 35 years, first "street" bike last season, a Sportser. To the Motor Companies credit, the Sporty's rush in the curves was what lead me to pursue a pure " curve" performing machine. Now I do recocognize that there are miles and miles of difference between a HD and a HM, however it has been as amazing first 1000 km !!!

The HM is the most confidence inspiring bike on the planet. It accelerates, brakes and turns with utmost precision. Even with my wife on the back ( comfortably I may add) for at least 800 of those km, the two of us handily kicked ass and my buddy was on a Buell !!!

I bought the 1100 and added the Terminogini 2-1-2 carbon cans, love the sound, but would like it even louder ! Full touring bag set up is great !

Only draw backs, 160 km between petrol stops and the tool kit is a joke. Not bad considering. Bottom line, best investment in pure exhilaration I have ever made......and my wife agrees !!!

Glad you are liking the bike... eagerly anticipating my "S" with all the bells and whistles.

congratz on the newness!!!

I think Ducati really nailed the styling on this bike A+ - they made it SUPER KEWL to own a standard
