hey, digging the quat d pipes - need to hear those bad boys some day!

My son bought himself a spiffing new 696 last week, wow, it looks so damm WICKED

Only thing I didn't like was the silly air scoops on the tank, but then again they do look better than handlebar dings :-)



Termis will be on when he's notched up 1,000 km

Nice  apart from the mirrors

so...in modern history.....has ducati made a decent mirror.....the Monster...NEVER not in 15 years, the 999 was ugly (especially 1st gen)....

the 1098 has some good mirrors, cause I don't notice them! the 996 as well...

Thanks for that.  Yes I like the look...a bit different & it was as close as I could get to a Cafe Race style short exhaust while still keeping it legal.

They sound good although not overly loud but I really need to compare it to another aftermarket exhaust to see how loud they actually are.  They sound quite to me as my last bike was a Harley with straight through exhausts & I had to wear earplugs!

Nice bike, can I ask what's with the dog in the back ground.
Spider please come and admire the pearl Monster.

thats my dog SHREK, he sits out on the lawn waiting for the school kids to walk by and give him a pat.

Guess its better for me to post the pic here rather than in Intro thread... Here's my ride...

Nice mirrors  

I do like the new monsters really - just don't like the mirrors.

Nice bike Geezmoz.

Thanks!! Have added some bits to it, planning to get bar end mirrors, but worried that I can't lane split... LOL

You can still Lane Split with bar ends, CRG L/S mirrors or the normal ones no problem.

I've just put bar end mirrors on mine with clip ons & they are basically the same width as the standard bar.  They certainly trim the look of the bike up by removing the standard mirrors.

S2R 1K......Straight....clean...pretty much stock (matty might recognise the seat)......and just soooo much fun to ride
