That'll be my latest purchase whenever the lady gets her first pay check. New battery and possibly a rectifier

Gel battery is rated to 35 Celsius BELOW. This factory battery might have worked 10 years ago, but today is just giving me head aches.



I may need to set up a "help me pay for a Ducati full exhaust, Ecu, and tune!" fund.

Also, screw the 800gs tat. Get the 1200 with the enduro tank and a Leo Vince full. Scary how nimble that bastard is. The horizontal headers just perfectly tips the bike over. No issues. Just ease.

Highly recommend that if you are looking at an on/off.

Multistrada also comes highly rated and loved.





You guys just have to remember when I am complaining about my bike, that it was built almost a decade ago. I'll love her forever <3

How did she take to it, is it her first bike experience? Great bike though, I dig it.

Yes, first time riding. She didn't want to get out of 2nd gear, and just stuck to big circles. Did pretty well and she's signed up for the TCC class next month.
