I can't receive messages, but the Rally has gone now - great bike.
Would rather spent 1/2 that on a good 2nd hand Audi RS4 as seen in first video. 
I’m happy to assist with the missing funds if it means you can procure it
If EVskiy can get only 6,400 willing people to put up £5.00 each, then that bike can soon be his.

Just got back from WDW on mine. Amazing bike, sports performance, comfy, panniers and top box, 47 mpg - but on the 3rd set of clutch plates.
3rd set of plates seems excessive. do you have aftermarket levers?Just got back from WDW on mine. Amazing bike, sports performance, comfy, panniers and top box, 47 mpg - but on the 3rd set of clutch plates.
I ask because when I fitted levers to my Rally the clutch would slip under hard acceleration, I adjusted a little play into the clutch lever and it completely solved the problem.
Lovely bike BTW

Yeah, I have actually, and I did need to add a little play in to help.
I have to say I am not really a lover of these STM dry clutches Ducati put in some of the V4s, the plates are a service item. OK if its a garage Queen but no good if it gets used. I actually stuck a 4th set of plates in before WDW which have now done 3,000 miles, but now the basket is badly warn as well. I am likely to stick a wet clutch in over winter.
Saw 2 at Whiteways cafe the other weekend. Sounded like a box of spanners with their rattly clutches.

Stunning looking bikes, but most people will be better off with the Pikes Peak version. I know one owner thinking of going back to the PP And another on his second RS engine, though he loves his and just wants it sorted!

Shame to hear he is having problems, Ducatis have become pretty reliable nowadays. The RS (Stradale) engine is the same as the Panigale and Streetfighter and you never really hear of them going wrong any more than the standard GT valve spring engine

I have had 3 Ducati, all desmo V twin. No engine issues, some small issues with other components on a Multistrada.Shame to hear he is having problems, Ducatis have become pretty reliable nowadays.

The RS looks fabulous. But think the Pikes Peak is way more practical and has more than adequate performance for all road riders.
Both the RS guys I know love the bikes. Like I said, one is thinking of returning to the PP, more for workshop time required for maintenance. The other just wants a bike that does not breakdown. Got to say though, he lacks mechanical sympathy and revs the bike from cold. Cant be a good idea and I wonder if his failures are connected to his abuse!
Sounds awful doesn't it. One came past on Saturday whilst I was as a cafe, I thought it was broken..

Have to admit, I am a "new" Ducati rider, coming from the GS/XR/SAS world and I do find the dry clutch a bit strange. It is a noisy old thing, and doesn't really last on a road bike - I am looking at putting a wet clutch in over winter.
But real Ducati fans seem to love it. I probably get as many positive as negative comments from the sound
