Conclusion - what sticks
Boy, what fun we had! Especially Volker, who wanted to check the windbreak on the motorway at just under 250 km/h, couldn't resist a "Uy, yes!". By the way, the windshield is adjustable, but not without tools. The windbreak is typically okay, but the helmet stays in the wind. As already said, the 950 is not a tourer.Okay, there are a few disadvantages such as e.B. the large turning circle or the warm air dissent on the right or the V2-typical load change reactions or the constant driving jerking, but a real Duc is just a small diva, which has to twitch a little at one point or another. And that's exactly what we love about the beautiful ones from Bologna, right? Awesome bike!
The test bike was provided to us by Ducati-Hamburg, where you can test drive many other, mostly red machines from Bella Italia in addition to the SuperSport.
