Πτώση από το σταντ ήταν. Χωρίς σούζα μετά. Είτε με, είτε χωρίς σούζα, είναι απαράδεκτο. Ναι;
Δεν έχω καμιά έχθρα με τα Ντουκάτι, όμορφα είναι, αλλά με αφήνουν αδιάφορο. Δεν ανακάλυψα Αμερική εγώ, Γιώργο. Μου άρεσαν περισσότερο τα παλιά 851, 888, 916 κλπ. Ιταλόφιλοι, Ιαπωνόφιλοι και μεταξύ τους συγκρίσεις, είναι μόνο για χαβαλέ, όπως όταν βλέπεις κόντρα πασοκτσήδων με νουδούδες.
Παραθέτω post (από άλλο συμβάν), τα συμπεράσματα δικά σας:

My 20 year old son was recently killed on his 2012 Ducati Panigale 1199 S ABS. He was traveling in under 35 mph immediately before the accident. I purchased his bike for him in August of this year, after being told how this was the safest bike in the world because of all of the safety technology Incorporated into it. When I wasn't told however, was at an Ducati's efforts to reduce weight and hence increase the speed of the bike, that safety was seriously compromised. It is because of these compromises, that my son is no longer here.
It is tremendously unfortunate, that Ducati chose to bring this bike to the stream of commerce before thoroughly testing it to ascertain what safety problems would manifest in its everyday use. Ducati was fully aware that this bike was going to be driven on US streets and highways, where they take an extra efforts to make it a street legal bike. My son was not going to race this bike, but wanted it because of the sophisticated electronics, traction control, ABS braking and other features that were marketed is making this bike the most technologically safe bike ever produced. This of course, is untrue as manifested by the significant number of safety recalls that of the mandated by the NHTSA. It certainly would seem prudent, for Ducati to addressed all of these compromised issues before putting this bike into the stream of commerce for people to ride.
Despite the slow speed of operation immediately prior to my son hitting a utility pole, because of bike was built with handlebars that have the strength papier-mâché, my son was unable to ride the bike down to the ground, because the handlebars, snapped off causing his body to propel forward beyond the bike, causing him to have contact with the Pole. Inspection of the bike manifests that the single bolt that held the sophisticated electronic suspension system onto the bike, had broken clean off as if the bolt had been prefabricated to snap at that point.
The parts of the motorcycle, but we were told were made of carbon fiber, or actually fiberglass or plastic. To place a driver in a position of such compromise to save literally single grams of weight, so that you could obtain higher performance with the same motor, is unconscionable. Were this vehicle was being driven on US roads and highways, and did not have the tent style strength to stand up and impact that would have been easily written out safely had the handlebars not snapped off like pieces of dry spaghetti.
Is is immensely troubling that this bike is not the engineering marvel that has been proffered to be by Ducati, as clearly demonstrated by the numerous safety recalls. I am confident, there will be several subsequent recalls addressing other issues that Ducati and its dealers will tell its customers are minor issues that need to be addressed. If you own one of these motorcycles, please be sure to have all of the recalls preformed before you use the bike. The so-called minor items that are being recalled, if unaddressed, may very well cost you your life.
Incidentally, my son was an experience motorcyclist who may have enjoyed a bike that was fast, but would always drive safely, never recklessly.
