Been lusting after Ducati's forever and finally gave in.

Greetings from Central Illinois (Urbana, Illinois to be exact).  I'm a grad student at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.  I just purchased a 2007 S2R 800 in red with the white racing stripe.  This is my first non-Japanese bike so I'm not sure what to expect as far as maintenance and aftermarket modifications.  Although, I've been told Ducatis need no aftermarket mods LOL!  Cheers!  Paca

Welcome Paca, congrats on your S2R, nice choice!

We love bike pictures so feel free to share if you have any.

You'll find lots of great info and advice in the Tech and Accessories & Mods forums.

There's a few people with stock Ducs but you'll find many people around here are quite addicted to modding their bikes.

Have fun, looking forward to updates!
