And when we filter we take up zero effective space so we save the drivers time too. We are not taking up any spots in the line:

Not true. My latest bike has abs and traction control. The abs may have saved me from a deer strike 2 days ago. It definitely kicked in and because I know I have it I can really just hit the brakes hard in an emergency situation without worrying about a lock up. There’s a case for making them mandatory.

I fitted 55w PIAA running lights on my ‘strada. It’s got a slightly uprated alternator so YMMV on the sp. The stock hi beam is not bad, but the dipped beam is limited. Might switch the halogrns out for LED.

They are super sensitive to free play adjustment. Easy to change with the adjuster on the lever. If it’s off either way it’s not good. Two turns off and neutral may as well be in another state.

Funny how the hyper is so polarizing. I know lots of people that think it’s fugly. But it gives me a tickly feeling in my sack. Eye of the beholder and all that. I agree with you that your trumpet looks great though.

I have one. 4500 miles so far with only some stalling issues in the first 200 miles. Snowcat has had an awful time. Ducati Canada should have given him a new bike way earlier. Or maybe his service techs are doing it wrong? I dunno. All I can share is my experience. If I was trading in my Hyperstrada tomorrow it would…

I commute 40 miles each way on a Hyperstrada into Manhattan. I’ve commuted on bikes for 20 years in NYC metro and in the UK on 17 different bikes from all manufacturers and all styles except cruisers. From Vespa to ‘blade to TTR600. The ‘strada with the factory heated grips is the best commuting bike I have ever…

I explained this to my wife when I bought a 991. Corvette is a stripper. Porsche is a supermodel. They both are desirable when they are young. One is higher maintenance. But in 10 years only one of them will still make you feel the same way they did on day 1 and more.
