Bex's new bike!!!! - Page 4

You lucky thing, I saw one of these on Saturday in Sth London, same colour as well, looked really cool, Hopefully I'm for an upgrade to a 696 in April, can't wait.

What do you think of the noise, is it ok as standard or to quiet ?

23-08-2010, 06:12 PM

Its fairly quiet unless you're accelerating, and even then its still pretty quiet.

I'm not too bothered at the minute to be honest, I was pretty noisy on the last one and I'm quite enjoying not being obnoxiously loud wherever I go (shock horror).

No doubt I'll answer differently when I actually have the money for termis however...

Still at least on the last one people knew I was there, I already had several people cut me up and I cant help thinking noisy cans certainly help reduce that a bit.

I already want some, the guy just collected my bike and as he drove off I was thinking how good it sounded going into the distance! I never heard it being driven away before cos I was always on it,

Ok, termi savings account here I come!!!!

Yeh I was warned to call up 2 weeks in advance to book the first service. No doubt it'll cost some silly amount of money as do all things Ducati related.

620 miles not 600 Do not go before or light will stay on

cost is around £80 first service, Nut bolt tighten etc and oil change

I followed this after seeing your 620 for sale, (I'm always in the For Sale section - innit sad?) Wondered if we'd lost another poor soul to the "thinking of giving up biking" void.

Top choice - well done!

I have to say that bike is lovely - the black 796 with red frame is definitely my favourite Ducati at the moment.

Can I have a go ?

I can finish scrubbing the tyres in for you..... no charge.

Oh well, it was worth a try.

It looks even better in the second picture. I like how clean and golden that oil is too.

gary tompkins · 23-08-2010, 08:36 PM

I've just notice it looks like the heat shields are a different shape on the 796

Disguises the original cans shape a lot better IMO

Oh.. and there are plenty more options besides Termi's

These are sold stateside, and I think sound nice with baffle in - not sure if they're available here though

Even more carbon fibre on the newer ones then. May look out for the newer version then

gary tompkins · 23-08-2010, 09:31 PM

The Leo Vince range are nice too - and way cheaper than Termi's

Thanks all!

Thats a sexy fairing in that pic you posted GT, niiiice!!! Dont like the cans though! Well they kind of grow on me the more I look at them!

The LeoVince GPs are nice, bet they'd look hot in black - maybe I should try something different like that this time. Since termi's are a long way off!

Thanks for the heads up regarding the 620 miles. Shouldn't be a problem, think I'm going up to Wales this weekend... good chance I'll be over 620 by the time I'm back.

Black Bob · 23-08-2010, 10:56 PM

Hmmm.... wonder what these sound like ?

Look better on a black 796 with single-sided swingarm, I reckon......
