Some of the best pictures of a Monster I've seen I think, very nice

[faulkss]

Thanks!!!

Only down side is the clip ons were delivered and did not fit :( The the new levers are on and they rock!

Winter will also bring a splash of carbon too :D

Thanks again

Steve

[Pedro]

You're welcome, like I said, great pictures that capture the spirit of the Monster!

[ton_up]

That's lovely, same colour scheme as my s4rs, gorge xxx

[Albie]

Looks great in those arty pics. well done you:D

[The Kevlar Kid]

Nice One :)

[pegboy]

very nice indeed, I'm jealous

[Kato]

Do you ever ride it ???? far to shiney .....Very nice

[mikej]

Nice pics (and bike!) Steve. Love the side stand puck, is it Rizoma??? ;-)

[stuartg]

Are you Marcus in disguise?
Very nice, great detail, even the colour coded exhaust guards, very cool

[faulkss]

Yeah the longer that it sat the there more the stand dug in so i had to put something there and that was all i had :)

As for riding... not really. It only comes out on the weekends, and it has to be dry and warm - My Aussie blood does not let me go out in the cold



Thanks for the comments guys and gals!

There really good photo's, your bike is looking immaculate too. Very nice!

(What camera do you have?)

[binky]

Where are the pics ?

[LVC]

Great photos and nice clean bike Steve :biggrin:

Where did you/can I get the "Performance" sticker you have on your belly pan from?

[singletrack]

:heart: It is lovely - makes me miss my old red S2R.

They are fantastic pics - ideal for a calendar.

[Rudeboy]

That is a NICE bike !!!

[PDL]

Overall very nice, i do like white wheels

[singletrack]

They are lovely - except you have to clean them every 5 minutes!

[PDL]

That what I thought, having said that my 748 had black wheels and they needed cleaning every 5 mins also.

[retskcid]

Lovely bike, if you want me to ride it through winter for you let me know!

[bigredduke]

Teriffic photos, very arthouse! Well done you.

[wooley_t]

That belly pan looks like one i put together a while ago.....was that off damon??

[faulkss]

Thanks for all your comments!!!

I’m just glad that you all like it :)

Camera was a Canon 30D

White wheels suck :D I have to clean them after every ride. But when they are clean I love the way that they look!

Belly Pan was a pick up off Damon… and I still think that it was a good buy :)

[Mand]

Hey that is lovely and those photos are "proper ace"

Mand

[Snips]

Congrats on a gorgeous bike, and an eye for a great photo.

My fave was the close up of the rear wheel.

[faulkss]

Right…. here is the question:

Do I continue to spend on her over winter including Rizoma clip ons and rear sets + a sprinkle of carbon in the form or exhaust shields, chain covers, belt covers and sprocket cover and possibly a Matris M3 steering damper

OR

Do I just sell her and get an 848?

Input welcome and more than wanted.

Steve

[Lowsider]

Wash your mouth out.....

Cos you'd just have a load to do on the 848....

Treat her to some bling.

Ahhh, the penny drops :)

Dude, dropping a tooth off the front of mine this afternoon down to a 14t and its meant to make a HUGE difference to low end, i'll let you know later what the £20 mod feels like :)

You know my answer already!

[faulkss]

Thanks Damon!

Just gotta flip the coin on this 999s, if that falls through it is al 848

[damon]

999's are badass too bud, let me know which way you go but I can confirm the 848 is seriously fast and fun, and apparently a beast with the 14t mod

[wade749]

Thanks Damon!

Hard decision to make. I've wanted a monster for some time now and couldn't bring my self to part with my 749s so I've worked my arse off and saved enough to buy an S2R as well.
I'll be picking the monster up in about 10 days time from Moto Rapido. Maybe someone knows the bike or of it?
Very much looking forwards to becoming a monster owner and very happy to find this site:yoparty:

This is my S. You can pick them up nice and cheap ( for a Ducati that is) and the ride is awsome.

A nice take on the classic air cooled monster.
