35 days old and already done 1,400 miles

[northantsrich]

Well guys I got a Ducati Monster m600 35 days ago. My 2nd bike (first was a Kawasaki ER5). Well in 35 days I have spent a good bit of money on fixing glitches (and still need to spend a good bit) and done over 1,400 miles. They are an ace little bike and it looks spot on after it’s been polished and had a tail chop. Very good on back roads or in town but certainly lacks the extra grunt for when you want to do some fast overtakes.

You get loads of people looking at the bike!

Any way that’s my little summary of what I think so far.

Almost echoes my thoughts on the 600, had mine about 7 weeks now, and spent alot of time and money and effort sorting things out, but now its done its great! I utterly love my bike!
Tbh, so far i don't miss the power, its got enough for the riding i do, plus you get well into the 60's mpg wise commuting, i've had my 'Blades and 1200 Bandits etc, don't wanna be doing 140/160mph anymore.
I tend to sit more at 50-60mph enjoying the ride, even on open roads. Listening to the exhaust note is what does it for me! :spin:
