Ducati Monster S4R

This past weekend i flew down to Tucson to check out a motorcycle i found on CL. It was so underpriced i thought it was probably stolen (or a scam) but after a few dozen emails i changed my mind.

The seller was one of those really finicky owners who takes fantastic care of his machines. He had every document and every key the dealer gave him when he bought it new in 2007.

It is absolutely bone stock and really really fun to ride. A lot more torque (130hp/76ft-lbs) than any of my previous bikes, and probably a few hp more as well.

I'm going to do some small stuff i think. The first things that come to mind are a super short slip-on exhaust and a tail tidy to get rid of all the gross DOT stuff that comes on the back of bikes these days.

Here is a bike whose look i think i'm going to copy. Amazing how just a few things can drastically change the look. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._2871653_n.jpg

Re: Ducati Monster S4R

Re: Ducati Monster S4R

Nice! I've always been a fan of the 999

Re: Ducati Monster S4R

WOO! Nice bike! I hope you enjoy that dry clutch rattle. haha

Re: Ducati Monster S4R

The bike finally showed up :)

Within a half hour i removed the stock slip-ons because it was way too quiet. I wanted to hear the vtwin! I actually think it looks kinda cool too :)

I've already got a tail chop kit to get rid of the gross DOT stuff on the rear, as well as a 14 tooth front sprocket (down a tooth) to help get the bike more street friendly.

I think i might remove the cowling around the headlight too.

Re: Ducati Monster S4R

Nice bike, now get that license plate tucked up ASAP.

Re: Ducati Monster S4R

Welp, it took a lot of staring and thinking if i was actually going to bite the bullet this weekend.

Re: Ducati Monster S4R

The blinkers are gone for good! I bought a new LED taillight that has the blinkers integrated into it. Pretty slick.

The plate is tucked up under the tail, you can barely see it in the last pic but its there! :)

Re: Ducati Monster S4R

That looks way better can I ride it?
