Hi Everyone!!! I'm originally a scooter girl and am wanting to go
into the riding world with a monster 696! I love the Ducati 848 and
have been suggested many times to start on the monster.
So HI!
Welcome to the DMF! :)
Good luck on getting started with the monster, I agree that will be a much easier transition from a scooter than an 848 (which I also agree is a really hot bike). ;D
Also, we have a Women's Forum (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=25.0), you're very welcome to join us there. 8)
Definitely keep us updated!
