    This was the main reason that I did not buy a new RSV4 factory APRC back in 2011.
    After horrific reliability issues with Ducati didn't want to be back in the same place.

    Would love to jump from my R1 onto one of these and back on the R1 to see how they compare

    You'd be trading in the R1 Al unfortunately.

    They are awesome machines by far the best looking in my opinion but the spares back up is unacceptable - still waiting over 2 months for cam chain tensioners (less than 3k miles on the clock) .... missed out on all this great weather we've had /having too !! Just something to bare in mind folks ....

    Well they can give you new one until yours is repaired, absolutely shocking.
    That's why I ditched my MV piece of shit after 8 months.

    I would trade in a blade yes, but not mine as I have it exactly the way I want it.
    If my blade was still standard then yes in a heart beat.
