I have 4 desmos and 1 norton, guess which one gets the most attention?
Gets, warrants, needs, demands or deserves?

...and not just those. Almost every Ducati - single, bevel twin and belt 2 valve that I have ridden - would tend to slap if provoked, unlike the Commando, which remained composed on the same roads. Softening the suspension front and rear usually cured the tendency to slap.
