Noriyuki Haga completed a successful debut onboard the 2009 specification Xerox Ducati at Kyalami. The Japanese rider overcame three crashes on the first day to end the test third fastest and finally feel comfortable on the 1200cc v-twin Ducati.
Although the 2009 bike doesn't look any different to Troy Bayliss' title winning machine it has a number of changes including new fly by wire throttle, updated electronics and new brakes.
To see the video of Haga onboard the Ducati and for a full insight of the test see MCN out Wednesday 17th December.
