Yep, touring Scotland over 2 weeks this summer with my van and caravan, incredibly the Monster can be contained in my Sprinter, now isn't that brilliant ?

My wife said "you planned that didn't you "?

When we're at a site for a few days she can chill out while I'm off cruising Tongue

Why ?

That's what I do anyway but I will be using it, all the paperwork was sent to DVLA today for FIRST registration.

I've never seen the alloy fairing before or some of the carbon parts that are on it.

Can you remove the end baffle things from the silencers ? They have Termignoni on them but are alloy, zoom in and you'll see. I haven't had the chance to fully do anything with it yet with work and a garage crammed full now !
Anyone want to buy a KTM Freeride 350 with 58miles on the clock and zero dirt abuse ?

Congratulations on your purchase!

Having had the S2R 1000, I would say that those are the standard cans. From memory, some were supplied by Remus

and some by Termignoni.

The only DP Termis that I'm aware of are these in either racing or homologated versions:



Have a look on the reverse side of the lower silencer for a part no. If it says 573.1078.6A then you've got the standard version and the internals are not removable.

Have you seen the paperwork for the recommissioning? If the tyres haven't been mentioned specifically, check the date code on the sidewalls. It will be four digits - the last two are the year and the first two the week number.

If they turn out to be the originals, (or more than five years old), I would change them as soon as possible as they will have hardened with age and may let go without warning.

Anyway, once you've checked/changed them ... enjoy!!

It looks quite similar (Though less vented) to the RoadRacing one on Bobertandsammy’s M900 which he is trying to sell.

Clearing out a paperwork drawer the other day I came across some old bike brochures and catalogues including my very first (very well-thumbed!) Monster Ducati Performance catalogue that Steve Hillary gave me way back in 2001.

Anyway, in amongst all the usual Termis and billet stuff by DPM (remember them?), were a couple of pages of 'pressed aluminium accessories' and it looks like BeePee's bike has the nose fairing.





That's the first time I've ever seen some of this aluminium stuff on a UK bike - more popular in Europe but quite scarce over here, I think.

I've just noticed, the rear tail tidy is the same one too except it looks like he's had the carbon installed instead of the aluminiumumum
