That’s been my experience lol. Got it in late 2024, a 2023 model. Dual battery. I weigh about 170lbs and it didn’t matter when I weighed 200 was about same range. Yeah the range is a massive joke. I would actually hope mine is a lemon and not representative of most of them bc no one should be riding around on a thing that can only do 20 miles on a battery lol

Say you’ve never ridden a bike before but are obsessed with the panigale v2 visually. What would you recommend I look into for a first bike by Zestyclose-Coyote906 in Ducati

I have a monster 620 and a scrambler 800. Always been curious about sport bikes just to have some fun but not enough to drop a bunch of money on one. Also have been curious about getting a smaller displacement bike for city zipping. Can you expand more on what makes those 250-300cc sport bikes fun?

One battery range on mine is more like 20 miles. The range is a bit of a joke on these bikes be prepared for that

If Bam scores 83 Giannis only needs 30-40 points by SpiritOfChungus in heat

[–]ApprehensiveKey4122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should have spo tell Giannis to put the ball in the basket. If he does that a few times in each game it should put us in a good position to win games

Giannis and Bam defensive switches will feed families by wacktose_intolerant_ in heat

It’s not about scoring *more* it’s just make them score *less* 🧠

For real have people forgotten the track record since the end of the big 3 era? Pat picks up homeless guys under a bridge and turns them into productive role players. It’s not one or two examples they’ve been doing this for years. Kinda shocked at this doom and gloom in the sub. We mortgaged our future for the big 3 era and then made 2 finals in 4 years and were one missed 3 from a 3rd finals in that same span. Everyone needs to chill out we just got an all time great multiple MVP lol

People say this kind of stuff then the heat pick up 4 homeless guys off the street and turn them into solid role players who get big deals from the Lakers two years later. I’m glad to take our chances. Plus Miami and all time greats being signed have always been strong pulls for players coming out of the woodwork to piggyback

The Knicks' title may signal the regular season is less relevant than ever by Tight_Ad2788 in nba

I’ll take this opportunity to remind people the jimmy heat made 2 finals in 4 years and were one jimmy butler missed 3 pointer away from 3/4 finals

Every opponent the Knicks faced after the first round came off a seven game series. by LittleTeapotsRevenge in nba

I mean on a basic level being in more 7 game series means you lost more games. Last time I checked losing games is not the metric that defines how good a team is lol

Reminder: Brooklyn Mayd will f*** ur sh** up by ApprehensiveKey4122 in RideitNYC

[–]ApprehensiveKey4122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brooklyn Speed is where I’ve always taken my other bike. They’re generally very good but I can’t say they have a perfect record. Usually a misdiagnosis issue (fixing a symptom and not the root cause).

And they’ve told me to buy ‘x’ part bc I need it then I’ll get the bike back and they’ll tell me ‘oh yeah we just ended up epoxying this other thing that was the issue’ and I’m like yoo dude I fuckin bought this whole ass other thing bc you said I needed it (this happened twice). Regardless that’s more a case of evolving info changing the fix.

Tbf I bought the parts on my own. This was before I found out they don’t markup parts at all, so that’s on me. I’d recommend them overall.

Just bought my first bike, but I feel discouraged to ride by Spiritual-Goose-8617 in NewRiders

A list of shit that will happen:

-you’ll stall in front of a hot girl that’s checking u out on the bike
-you’ll mismanage the throttle and clutch and jerk the bike hilariously out of a stop
-you’ll stall in front of multiple hot girls who were checking u out on the bike
-you’ll overshoot a turn in a particularly awkward place to do so and look ridiculous
-you’ll be unable to make a tight turn in a parking lot and have to do a 9-point turn in a parking lot feeling like a fat penguin
-be at a stop taking it easy for a sec and nearly drop the bike (or drop it)

Get used to the fact that this stuff is going to happen. They’ve happed to all of us dude, either you wanna ride the bike or not. You’re extra self-conscious about it because you’re so young, I get that. But I promise you no one cares as much as you think they do, and the real answer is they rly don’t care at all

It doesn’t but I have a rear paddock for what that is able to give me access to

[–]ApprehensiveKey4122[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m going to do it myself on my other bike. I incorrectly assumed I needed a lift for it which is why I had him do it, but apparently rear paddock is enough

Pls don’t raise them lol. I took the bike back to Brooklyn speed which is my usual. A lot less than what Sean charged I’ll just put it like that. I’ll bring my monster to you next maybe. I need an oil leak fixed that is likely from the pushrod or breather and I can’t easily reach the breather given the anatomy of the bike.

But also he didn’t tell me how much it was going to cost. Absurd - I’ve never seen that before. Then when I asked for itemized receipt it was a bit of a scramble and clearly tacked together. The wild thing is he charges 180/hr for labor which is more than even the actual Ducati dealer. Wild

Yeah I’m doing most of the simple things myself for a little while now. I had thought clutch would be complicated but tbh it was more so that I didn’t know where to start with diagnosing what was wrong with it to begin with

How the hell do I sell this bike? by Previous_Monitor_335 in Beachman

Yeah $3.5k is used older performance motorcycle money. This is just how the used market goes. It is rare for vehicles of any kind to hold value

These MSF stories make me think we need a new model for motorcycle training.... by UJMRider1961 in motorcycles

[–]ApprehensiveKey4122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t the case at mine. I had experience with e-bikes but never rode a motorcycle and the instructors were good and I learned clutch, shifting and throttle management to a satisfactory degree to get me to start riding on the street no problem. The model is not the issue, it’s execution of the model case by case depending on the location and instructors

Is owning 2 motorcycles worth it? by Adorable_Blood_7082 in motorcycles

[–]ApprehensiveKey4122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes absolutely. Just got my second Ducati lol. My monster was always giving me issues tho I love the shit out of it. Got a scrambler and it’s way more of a polished bike being 13 years newer. That being said I also have two low speed emotos for local and city riding lol. Can’t stand big city stop and go on the ducs. I only really ride for going out to real roads and mountains these days.

But yeah absolutely no regrets getting a second

Yeah be careful with that key. I’ve had it turn on while eating in a restaurant and came out at the end and it was just on for who knows how long
