Ha.
I adore quality problems.
Rode my friends 1290 Super Duke. Fell in love. short while later replaced
1200S Multistrada with a 1290 Super Adventure Which wasn’t bad off-road and
fun as hell on road (SD made me feel foolishly invincible on public
streets)
Crashed the 1290 SA at the track when I fooled myself into trusting the
front tire at Advanced speeds. I sense a theme here.
Ironically my friend with the 1290SD stayed in C class which is the only
dangerous class (inexperienced riders everywhere) if there is such a thing.
I simply trusted the poor front tire because is was flawless. Until it
wasn’t.
The tire guys pretty much shrugged, said leave them at 30 psi, having no
experience with ADV bikes I expect.
Since then my friend totaled my ECX400 for me and I’m on his 2019
Multistrada while he heals. He owes me nothing, but someone should ride it.
Out of all the bikes I’d take the 1290 SA with 17” spare front. And my new
to me 690 Enduro. Lowered.
Honda Hawk 650 is a great track bike. Only need HP to keep from being
passed by folks who don’t enjoy corners.
Where’s the Ducati? God, Please, another white frame Supersport?
