The Monster sounds and feels awesome, I couldn't fault it but I know there are many experts out there who might have some comments for me.

I love the Monster in black but quite like the pearl white. Is this a little girly?
I want ABS but I'm being warned off it by most the professionals. Any comments?
Any experiences good or bad with Ducati Aylesbury, and do you recommend I deal with someone there?
What kind of discount should I expect to negotiate from a dealer?

Thanks looking forward to any comments,
Kameloil
Welcome to the club.
choicing your colour is so subjective! i'm a black bike man myself, but the pearl white is quite striking.
ABS? never had a bike with it fitted so can't comment, ask around the forum, some guys have other bikes with it fitted, so they will have an opinion.
lastly, I bought my monnie from Aylesbury so yrs back. very pleased with their services.

Enjoy the bike and look forward to seeing you on a ride out.
