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

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

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.
