Riding a superbike is a very demanding and engaging affair. The bike demands your full attention right from the start when you start the engine. In Delhi, where temperatures reach up to 40 degrees on a sunny day, think of riding the Ducati with leather jacket and jeans and being stuck in traffic or finding yourself at red lights waiting for the signal to turn green. This was my daily routine while going to the college on the Evo.
