Hi all, I am very close to making a decision on the purchase of a V-Due and would like to know how many owner/riders there are.

I appreciate some bikes will be preserved un-ridden but I will want to ride mine.

Any one using theirs on dry weekends, track days etc? What's your longest trip. (not including fuel stops!) How do you find them?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan

Great bike fun to ride and a head turner
easy to work on and for parts.

Great on the track , around town you will
get to use the lower gears LOTS as it geared
to do a 1000kph hahahhahaa.

Longest trip 400km

Do it you won't be disapointed

Cheers Trev

Maybe it is the way I ride or my bike is jetted, but the fuel mileage I get is miserable. ~25 mpg makes it hard to ride too far out in the country in my experience.

You're doing well with 25mpg....max is 20mpg for me

[trev45]

Fuel was made to burn and yes they do but in stile

They are not really a mileage bike , but then again I know of a few that have been to the IOM TT , left outside over night, started ( eventually) everyday , and made it back with no issues ( OK other than the bolt in my gear linkage going AWOL ) , so all in all probably done 600-800 miles over a few days with no issues ?? !!

Yup....no issues...other than many visits to fuel stations....and trying to run away from a 1001 questions every time you stop...."whose engine did they use?...how is it to ride?....is it on carbs?...how much are they?.."

[trev45]

Yep it is funny when you pull up and they all walk over and say does it run ? that's how I got here and yes it is the standed EFI hhahaha

Cheers Trev
