Just bought a new bike
« on: June 13, 2011, 11:35:28 pm »
Just bought my first bike! Well actually it is my second bike, but it is the first I bought instead of inherited. I am super excited about it! It is a damn sexy machine and in fantastic condition. Picking it up friday!

Here it is... A 2008 Ducati Monster S2R 1000

Put some pipes on it  :drool:

I would rock one of these with pipes and clip-ons!


Congratulations!

For sure pipes are a must! I love the look of clip ons but one of the reasons I bought this bike is the riding position feels good on my back after having back issues for so long that are finally getting ironed out. I think I am going to stick it out with the stock bars for a while and see how I feel after this riding season and then go from there...

FINALLY I got to take it out for the first time since buying it!!! Ran awesome. The dry clutch takes a bit of getting used to (grabs quick!) and the brembo brakes also grab fast. Lots of torque and a ton of fun...

Going to be a great summer!  :)
