Very good bike.
noise
power
stupidity
awesome fun
That is all
That's one of the bikes in considering I need more info and photos!
Brakes are great(radial brembo's rebadged I believe)
Front sus needs adjusting but its showa so a visit to dave hagon here should sort that.
Three ignitions modes sport touring and rain.
very responsive in sport (some hamfisted types on forums would say snatchy & unridable)
The same people moan about small throttle opening surging in sport mode.
ITS SPORT MODE!. change it to touring on the fly if you have to tour for a few miles in traffic.....
Generally nicely engineered, I tidied some wiring up which I think was from the previous owner.
mine was 4k. 2009 with 5.5k miles on it.
I love it!.
Further additions are - bash guard for oil filter area. Refit or replace handguards(missing off mine). Maybe look at a ducati style bar end mirror.
when the tyres are worn out fit more treaded style for wetter weather thrashing
just about it.
Someone told me ages ago they have anti wheelie that cant be turned off?

The 2009 won't.
I used to have one of these.
I liked it.
It got nicked, however - get a ground anchor.
And sport mode is fine - only mode you need.

stock exhaust for now.
Still quite throaty
Massive heat shielded monstrosity under the seat
Stock can is neatly done on the Dorsoduro - looks better than the after-market Arrows cans you see on some of them IMO.

I'm keeping my eye out for one , I know the later models had anti wheelie , so would be looking at an older model
