Summary about Ducati907I.E.

I will tell you that "Finally, How about Ducati 907I.E."
in Q and A style.

What kind of motorcycle?
It's a kind of sport-tourer. Not racy but thick and comfort
seat, easy riding position, torqueful engine, Yes, You can ride
faster but you can feel fun when you don't ride faster and easy.
Characteristic style appeal every people and satisfy your pride
as owner. I guarantee about it.

Is it sporty?
It's enough. Some magazine in Japan wrote that 907 is more
better than 900SS. It was written that 907's engine is more
sophisticated than 900SS, but I have never tried 900SS so
I can't say about it. But When you want to buy some special
equipment for customizing, market must be not enough.

How about touring?
I think you can enjoy riding without tiring. But in this case,
tiring means about riding position, or physically.
I used to ride Kawasaki ZZ-R400 before. If I tour over 5 day,
I will choose Kawasaki. Because Kawasaki allowed me to be lazy.
I will take a few bad points of Ducati;
Dry clutch need nervous touch
Engine doesn't work in low speed area
Carrying bags on side of tundem-seat, Mirrors are useless

Ducati 907I.E. brings you a good position but sometimes you must
ride it nervously. Some people may think it's not suitable for
touring. I had experienced over 2000km tourings two times
riding Ducati907I.E. I tell you about it.

It has much troubles?
They say today's Ducaties don't have troubles. I think it's
true. I mean Ducaties don't have troubles for our imagine.
Of course we need enough maintenances. Some bolts are easy
to be loosen, so we have to be careful about it.
To order parts, it will take 3 month to get them.
You should consider about it.

How about overheat?
They say PASO series had a problem about overheat.
Cooling systems of PASO series started from twin oil-cooler.
It was changed to water-cooled system. Ways for cooling air
is well-designed, so It's enough to think "Overheat exists".
Actually, my 907I.E. had fuel percolation. I tried to fix it,
but I couldn't. I don't know about PASO series, but my 907
had it.
