Hi all.Still waiting

Interested to hear someone was thinking of maybe changing to a Duke. I was as well. Perhaps persuade my missus to get one so I can play on both...

I'll keep posting any news about the delivery.

Thats really strange,i work for Audi and know the level of service i have to give,which is a million years away from any Bike dealer.Even after my contact once again with my dealer on Sat they still havent got back to me,i have a KTM Duke on standby which i could be riding by the weekend,i want my Monster but not happy to put up with the rubbish service just to get one.Still hopefull.

That's exactly how I feel!

All good stuff - plenty of Summer left.

I've got exactly 1200 miles on mine this evening, if your experience is like mine, you'll love the 696

Heard mine arrived last Friday. PDI today collect tomorrow! Just as a reminder mine was ordered mid March. Red. Have asked for Termi cans; anyone sticking with the standard pipes or made a choice on something different? Josh.

Mine arrives tomorrow ready to collect on Saturday,they have pipes in stock but want £800,can i ask how much you have been quoted ?

Yeah, me. I reckon it sounds brilliant just as it is. Can't see the point in paying £800 for everyone else's benefit. I'd rather spend the cash on fuel and tyres and actually ride it....

I plumped for the Termi carbon cans at £682. It seems a lot I know but the titanium are even dearer. with hindsight I might have gone for the stainless steel ones but sod it arrives tomorrow and the most important thing is that it sounds the part even when I'm having to tool round at zero rpm for a while. just for completeness it took 13 weeks from placing order to delivery. Anyone out there had any experience of dealing with Ducati Manchester before (before I say my bit about them)? Josh

What price are people paying for these termis ????? ive heard from £800 to £600, who's got them and how much did you pay ?, i think the stock cans sound ok, but are not the best looking cans ive seen, and obvisiously there's the weight issue too.Would i be right in saying the stock cans are manufactured by Remus?

Cheers Jeff

Oh give over! Listen to yerself will ya?


I wish everyone would just admit to the ONLY real reason anybody fits loud pipes - Vanity.
"Listen to all this money I've spent". "Look at the posh name on my cans" etc etc

There is no other reason. I know because I've done just the same.
Safety? Go on an advanced course instead and learn how to ride.
Weight? Try avoiding the pies for a couple of weeks instead!
Looks? - Just a designer name. It says bloody DUCATI on the tank already y'know!
Power? - You'll never, ever notice.



There's nowt wrong with being a poseur - Just admit the vanity and stop trying to justify it!!!!!

you are wrong PP If we really were into the label thing would we really do things like this:



I love the sound of my Termi's and it really does give a ducati its distinctive deep roar. I live in a town with one of the biggest Harley dealers in the country and it's all I get all day out of my office window but when a Duke goes by with a proper set of zausts on I just know and have even been out for a fag break just to see it ride by.

Maybe you just don't get the Ducati thing... Maybe your signature says it all Wap Wap Waaahh sounds more like a Vespa than a Duke I'm sorry but you may need therapy

Thats why people change the cans then, thanks you have same me a few quid.

apologies for putting your nose out of joint...just wanted to know the prices of the Termis as there seems to be some variation
