I traded in my 2005 CBR600RR for a 2005 Ducati Monster S4R with 7000 miles.  Wow.  Love this bike!!!!

It handles so well, is comfortable, and love that twin.  I love the naked bike look with the superbike motor and the classic styling.  Street bikes and Harleys both give me the motorcycle 'wave'.  It is both and neither.

I had been looking to trade in the CBR on a BMW F800GS.  Then my wife bought a 2014 Ducati Monster 696.  I rode it home for her.  I was instantly hooked.  I started looking for Monsters that night.

I bought maintenance guides for both bikes by LT Snyder.  Great books.

Welcome to a great community Derek.

Thanks!

I am reading page after page of posts, learning a lot.  Didn't learn the correct PN for spark plugs though.  On my 3rd try to get the correct ones..
