Looking for comfort!
Went for a ride to have lunch in Big Bear, on our Tiger 900, Friday and wow was it beautiful. The ride up 38 is awesome with the roads in great condition and traffic was light. Other than my butt hurting because I have a boney ass and I cant seem to find any seat that works for me it was a perfect ride!
The Tiger 900 rides like a Cadillac and performs like a Superbike. I am more impressed with this bike every time I ride it and am so glad we bought it. Cyndy uses the lower seat that we got from Triumph and she absolutely loves the bike too. She owned the Tiger 800 Low and Ducati Multistrada and put a lot of miles on both so she has experience to know just how good this new 900 is.
Now, if I can just find a seat that works for my boney butt the rides would be absolutely perfect!
Take a ride up 38 to Big Bear when you get a chance. It makes for a great day!
Ducati Adds More Graffiti with the Mid-Range Hypermotard 950 RVE
Starting in July, Ducati will have a new Hypermotard 950 variant for you to chose from, as the Italian brand has just announced the Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE.
The new “RVE” model is a spitting image of the Ducati Hypermotard 950 concept that we saw last year at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este , which got rave reviews from us and many others.
Interestingly enough though, the Hypermotard 950 RVE is built off the base model Hypermotard, adding the unique graphics package of the concept, as well as an up/down quickshifter that comes as standard on the “SP” variant.
Ducati says that to make the “graffiti” paint scheme feasible for mass production, it had to create a whole new painting process that employed highly trained workers and extra-thin decals.
In the press materials, Ducati likens the process to that of airbrushing the graphics onto the bodywork.
