Hello all!

Sold the 998 a couple weeks ago and bought a 2008 S2R1000 today.  Only 457 miles and the nubs are still on the tires!  Got a GREAT deal on it too. (Under trade in value).

I look foward to learning from all of you.

Welcome...

I know someone that goes by ducatiboy.

Have we met?

Only if you are from Vermont or possibly heard of me on Ducati MS, The WERA board or a couple other forums.

"Doc" was taken.

Nope...

I saw you were from VT, but the ducatiboy I know was from MA.

What threw me was the 998. He had one.

Pics from the seller before I bought it.





Already removed the frame decals (came off in 1 piece and going in the manual) and the fork reflectors.  Insulated tape on the exhaust shield and put a first coat of polish on her.  :D  Getting cold up here in Vermont but i hope to take her for a ride tomorrow.

The only upgrade it has are the DP headers :D (What slip on fit?  I hear only Termis?)

I got an Arai Vector helmet and the stock exhaust thrown in as well!

On little tech note - that you're probably already aware of being that you've owned ducs before. Since the bike's got some age, the belts are probably due to be replaced.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

Yep, I am aware.  They are on the list of things to do this winter.

Tail Chop is complete.




Gonna need to do a little painting on the ends this winter too.  :(
