A good friend of mine is a staff writer for Fast Bikes magazine, and so gets to play with all the new toys. Last year, when the new Ducati line came out, he let me go round the track a few times on the test model...coming out of turn 3, into the straight, I look down at the tach, and then notice the speed right next to it. 197 it says...took me a good 15 seconds to remember that this is an italian bike. It's gonna use klicks....but I thought I was gonna die for a sec there...
