Hello

[uncle.fam]

Hi everyone, I've had a Ducati Monster 695 for many many miles (~20,000mi and 2yrs) and recently picked up an S2R 1000 instead

No wonder you're smiling 

Welcome to the DMF

[The Bearded Duc]

The 695 is a slouch compared to the S2R.

Happy riding

Welcome, congrats on the new S2R (and both are great bikes)!

We love bike pictures, so please feel free to share any that you have.

have fun! [moto]

Thanks for the greetings. Here's a picture of the my-old-loyal-first-motorcycle, the 695. It was so much fun, it would never do something unfriendly. Here's a few notes on the differences I've noticed so far, some are obvious:

- The S2R1k isn't as mindless to maneuver at low speeds as the 695, I'm always adjusting the clutch
- Somehow, the S2R1k is a lot more comfortable
- I have to get used to the S2R1k's full potential hahaha
- I've got to keep in mind that the S2R doesn't have a slipper clutch (yet)



I'll take a picture of the S2R sometime soon.
