Ducati 698 RVE

[Arsey]

Took this out today . Mate is selling.
Mad thing . Goes like stink but much lumpier than 701 and needs revving . Redlines at 11k.
Sounds good with full Termi system

My brother has bought it so will be a good buy in a few months .
He’s a bloody nightmare . Always changing his bikes. Chalk and cheese, we are ……

Are you the chalk or the cheese Martin
I really enjoy you trying out different stuff and giving all the brands a go.
I don't think you'll ever decide on 3 though

Saw my bro today. Said I could make him an offer on the RVE as he really bought it to shift his SMT .
I’m half tempted to get it, run it for 6 months then flog it to one of you muppets . Shame VAT would need paying again on entry back to UK.
It’s Ducati Bournemouth’s demo bike and the same one Chopsie took out

My birthday next week-he might even gift wrap it

 

[Arsey]

Out for a good spin




It’s bloody brilliant BUT it’s just a bit too manic . The full Termi is loud and crackles and pops .
Great fun but think I’d tire of it quick .
Shame as good prob get it for not much over £7k.
£14k new in UK

I had the first gen 821 sp, it was great fun and comfy and not ktm 690 harsh bare bones riding.

it felt a bit tame as a twin with standard exhausts, but everything else I loved. If there's one brand you must stick aftermarket exhausts on, Ducati is the one.

Sounds like its a very different bike with the single.
