Hello all!

Sold the 998 a couple weeks ago and bought a 2008 S2R1000 today. Only 457 miles and the nubs are still on the tires! Got a GREAT deal on it too. (Under trade in value).

I look foward to learning from all of you.

Only if you are from Vermont or possibly heard of me on Ducati MS, The WERA board or a couple other forums.

"Doc" was taken.

Nope...

I saw you were from VT, but the ducatiboy I know was from MA.

What threw me was the 998. He had one.

Already removed the frame decals (came off in 1 piece and going in the manual) and the fork reflectors. Insulated tape on the exhaust shield and put a first coat of polish on her. :D Getting cold up here in Vermont but i hope to take her for a ride tomorrow.

The only upgrade it has are the DP headers :D (What slip on fit? I hear only Termis?)

I got an Arai Vector helmet and the stock exhaust thrown in as well!

On little tech note - that you're probably already aware of being that you've owned ducs before. Since the bike's got some age, the belts are probably due to be replaced.
