Hi there, new to the site...
in the process of selling my bike and looking at replacements
all the more sensible options keep coming up, but the monster keeps calling out
it was the bike that got me interested in bikes in the first place years ago, and I'm Italian, so not ever having had a Ducati is a smite on my existence haha
there are a few which seem to fit the cost/newness/afterthought of economy profile I'm after, which looks like the 620, 695, and the s2r 800. (any of the other classic style models I should consider?)
Bike is for occasional commuting, leisure, and touring.
I'll be dropping some power from just over 100... has anyone else made a similar move and been frustrated by the loss?
as I mentioned I like doing a bit of touring, Switzerland/Italy/Alps. what's the monster like for touring on? alright over long distance? comfort and reliability-wise...
anyone else around south wales willing to show me around their monster to get a view of a good one before I start shopping?
