New to Ducati

[whits]

Hi everyone! my name is Frank from NY  have been riding bikes since 1970  mostly motocross and offroad.  I now share an 06 ktm supermoto with my son . My wife rides a buell and I'm looking to buy a monster over the winter or early spring. I am torn between a s2r 1000 and a s4r  . Rode an o6 s2r 1000 and loved how it handled. I think I expected a little more pull from it seemed less than the Ktm 625 but maybe its just so smooth. wonder about the s4r?  Can't wait to be a DUCATI owner, have always loved the monster.

welcome to the board whits!
the 2v and 4v monsters are _very_ different beasts. it really depends on how much grunt you want/need.
i have an s2r1000, and i love it, but you probably cant go wrong with either bike.

Welcome Frank, good luck in your search!

I'm sure if you post up in General you will get many opinions on both models.
