Hi Guys,

First post.....

Name: Phil
Location: Perth, Western Australia
Bike(s): Monster 696
How long you've been riding: 3 yrs

I'm a monster newbie, brought it new only last week and so far pretty pleased with it. Always fancied a Ducati and finally got one.

Being new it's stock standard, I 'm hearing a bit about aftermarket exhaust mods, but being a newbie have no idea what advantage/disadvantage  that will give, apart from looking very cool of course... 

Be interested in opinions...

welcome to the board Phil.
make sure and check out the active group from your side of the equator in the local clubs section.

Mr WA,
Cool to see someone from Perth. I've been there a handfull of times and loved it there.
As far as exhaust, certain kits can add a little more power, but sound  and looks are a big plus too.

Welcome Phil, congrats on your 696!

As herm says, check out OZ Monsters.    I think most of them are on the east coast but there are few from your stomping grounds.   Great place, my dad is from Perth and I still have a bit of family there.

Check out the Accessories & Mods forum for more ideas on exhaust, the Termis are pretty popular on the 696.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures of your bike when you get a chance.
