I ordered a red s 3 weeks ago, i saw the ss at Milan in november .

Actually i ve a monster 1100 s and last year i had a vfr 800 2014 which was heavy to me
The ss is not very power but enough for me.

I plan to change clips on too high for me (i am 1,75m / 5,9f) for ducabike or accossato adjustable low clip ons.

Welcome to the forums! Any estimated delivery date?
My dealer said end of mars, beginning of april.

I live not very far from Bologne , but it 'll be same delay like everybody in Europe.

There 'll be a motorbike exhibition in Marseille south of France this next friday with new ducati models with one ss.
I'll do a test ride on a red SS on 24th pm.
My dealer has received a red s and a red standard for test rides and exhibitions.
They 'll receive my red s in 2 weeks.

That sounds like it'll be super fun! Are you able to take videos of it?
I look forward to ride and to hear the sound with original exhaust .

No worries, most videos of exhaust systems don't help, most are a case of having to hear the system in person. it actually takes a lot of work to capture sound properly, just look at all that goes on in hollywood to capture the sort of sound projected to us in theaters.

Hi all,

I got my red S this saturday and did my first ride on mine (i did a ride on a try bike 2 weeks ago)
My dealer fitted some accessories .

Some new honest comments , good and bad points ;

Good
Light, thin, beautiful bike, good finition to me
Wonderful easy in the curves
I love the shifter u/d
Good brake
Excellent stability
My partner appreciate position, seat, handles
Enough power for me to enjoy
Protection better with dark higher windshield

Bad points
Small mirrors
Vibrations on pegs and mirrors
A bit hard seat for long ride ( i don't see the confort seat but i think it s higher back position)
And a bit hard fork and shock (i need to tune olhins but the bike is nine , it was better on try bike with 400km)
Small tank
Warm between legs at low speed after 2 hours ride (22° in south of france this we)
Not Enough place under seat ( not like my previous vfr 800 2014)
Catalyst pipe


Congratulation to each future owner !!
