Don’t want to change the suspension.
Only got bike today so need a decent ride out to see how i feel with it.
Thanks for all replies. Ken.
PS. Bike is a Classic but it has Ali wheels.
PPS. It don’t look anywhere as nice as the Monster it replaced, but at least it’s a Ducati.
I think you probably just need to get a few miles under your belt with it but depending on the previous owners' weight/riding style and whether they took a pillion regularly etc. you may find that the Nitron (if not the forks as well) may be sprung very differently to how it might need to be for you- so you may end up having to change some things anyway.
