A few questions.

I have recently bought a very low mileage M600.

Can anyone tell me what the maximum speed in each gear is ?

What performance mods are available and at what cost?

Is there a BHP/Torque graph available online.

Many Thanks

Adrian

You could call Ducati UK for the tech spec. perhaps, see if they can offer anything as regards to max speed in gears and a bhp/torque graph...

Also, the DSC (Ducati Sporting Club) website is a good bet for mod info, as a number of them are racing in the Desmo Due series for 600 and 620 engined bikes...

The one thing I would say is that no matter what you do (you can get a big bore 675cc kit for example) - they still won't be as fast as a 620, or any of the other bigger engined Monsters - I'd just enjoy what you've got to be honest...

you should be able to get 100mph in 3rd & 110mph in 4th then should push onto 120ish

sad but true in this throw away age, the cheapest performace improvment is the trade in.

uh and

from what i can make out
1st 52 km/h = 32
2nd 76 km/h = 47
3rd 98 km/h = 61
4th 120 km/h = 74
5th 136 km/h = 84

hummm that cant be right

Thow as many bolt on extras as you like but as the Americans say'there's no substitute for cubes'

but its all down to how you ride it at the end of the day.

Some 675's & 583's have & are still, outstripping some 620's in the race series.
Its down to how good the riders are, but a good rider on a 600/675 will never beat an equally good rider on a 620.

Enjoy your bike Adrian. Dont do many mods to start with till you get to know how she handles. You might want to 'adapt' her later on, or trade up at a later date, and new purchasers prefer unmodded lower CC bikes on the whole, as it can affect their insurance.

Happy monstering

I know that there are some quick 600's out there - but 100mph in third!!! My own fairly standard 600 topped out at just over the ton, and would only get 120 on the clock if I drove it off a cliff TBH. One of many reasons I upgraded to the 900 in the end
