Got the Termis yet?
March 14, 2012 at 11:20 am #63005HippoDronesParticipantNo mate. I dropped Sycamore Ducati an email the other day but have not heard back…. must chase them up again.
March 18, 2012 at 8:38 am #63006RadarModeratorSeems like poor service. I ordered a new tyre for the Thundercat last week (another maxxis) and it turned within a couple of days.
March 18, 2012 at 8:54 am #63007HippoDronesParticipantAm not massively impressed at how long its taking to get sorted, not throwing blame at Sycamore Ducati just the supplier to the UK seems to be a little slow. Hopefully get sorted soon tho
March 19, 2012 at 8:39 pm #63008HippoDronesParticipantSpoke to Sycamore Ducati today. They are collecting the bike, fitting the cans and setting it up on a dyno then dropping the bike back to me. I ideally wanted them to fit them once I’d done my trackday at Brands mid April but we couldn’t sort a date that suited us both so they are doing it at the beginning of April. Its taken some time to get it all sorted but am happy it is finally getting done. Really looking forward to the new cans, think the carbon will look fantastic and am sure they will sound awesome too [] Oh, and they are collecting the bikeand returning it for free too []
March 19, 2012 at 11:51 pm #63009RadarModeratorSounds like a happy ending. Post of video clip when you get the bike back so we can all share the roar!
March 20, 2012 at 12:12 am #63010HippoDronesParticipantI shall indeady, hopefully have a vid of some track action too if I can mount the gopro hero and get a decent perspective. Looking forward to seeing how I get on with the Ducati compared to the Husqvarna. I think (mainly due to ergonomics) I will be slower on this than I was on the 510 even tho this has about 100bhp more and is only about 40kg heavier as evenwith the rearsets I am struggling to keep my feet on the outside peg when cornering as it is just too low compared to the seat height!
April 4, 2012 at 12:46 pm #63011HippoDronesParticipantGot my bike back today a day early from getting the cans fitted and set up, they look fantastic and soundf awesome too, think I’ll need to fit the baffles for my trackday at Brands on the 12th tho []

April 20, 2012 at 5:46 pm #63014ses310ModeratorIs this how the Streetfighter should look now?
April 20, 2012 at 6:01 pm #63015RadarModeratorEXCELLENT!!!
April 20, 2012 at 7:09 pm #63016HippoDronesParticipanthahaha lol []
June 22, 2012 at 10:11 pm #63017RadarModeratorI wonder how long it will be before the Audi influence starts to hit home. They have done a good job with Lamborghini
June 24, 2012 at 8:10 am #63018imperialdataKeymasterHeh, nice one SES, that logo actually looks alright on the tank.
Still a very nice looking bike Pete, is it floating your boat a bit more these days?
