In deepest darkest France

Rushjob · 01-07-2022, 07:24 PM

Hi all, new joiner here currently in Central France but originally from the Midlands. I've currently got a Guzzi Stelvio which is up for sale to be replaced by a Monster - 1000ie, S4 or S4R is the way I'm heading.

Been riding Italian stuff for about 42 years now ( God I'm old! ) and having dropped out of the Ducati family for a few years I'm being strangely drawn back.......

That's all for now.......

Hi Andy and welcome, or should that be welcome back to Ducati.

Pics of the latest when you get it would be great

Welcome aboard.
Stelvio to monster. Interesting change of direction.
The engine in a two valve is very different to a four valve. Have you text ridden any of your possible choices?
