Title: hi from dubai
Post by: alabama on September 25, 2010, 08:02:13 AM
hi
am joining as i am trying to research the 620 - there is a fairly cheap one going out here that i am tempted to pick up so want to get some pointers on potential pitfalls and then possible mods.
have been riding for a few years, had a VROD for a couple of years, now looking for something lighter as a daily rider.
thanks for having me,
giles

Welcome here [thumbsup]

Are you asking us about mods?
We know nothing about that nonsense [roll]

620 trouble free, more or less.
Ask for service records. Ducatis like regular oil changes.

Stock suspension is ok for a +/- 150 lbs rider.
Some work might make you happier if you need the bike to perform well under pressure.
Dubai summers will require an oil cooler, I guess. (easy mod)

Buy the bike and we'll take it from there [evil]

Wish I'd known when I was there a couple of weeks ago! I'd have been happy to answer your questions for the low, low price of FREE over a cup of coffee.

Either way, welcome to where the cool kids hang.  [thumbsup]

Welcome and good luck with your research! :)

The 620 is a great choice, but definitely check on those maintenance records.  For mods, check out our Accessories & Mods (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=5.0) section.

Keep us updated. [thumbsup]
