wondered how long it was going to take before The Ron chimed in with his upbeat outlook towards the 696  [cheeky]

Ron man, lighten up!  I can only assume you are in denial and suppressing your subconscious urges to make out with the 696  [cheeky]

I know it would be hard to make the choice in color but aren't you able to change the shrouds??
Don't know what they cost to replace, but couldn't you possibly buy each color whenever you feel like changing.
So each year you can change the color of your Monster.....

And I wouldn't be paying any attention to "the ron" he seems to enjoy bashing more than being positive about anything.
If he feels that strongly he should pick up his keyboard and write Ducati about there design shift, instead of pouring shit on blokes who want to share
there new duc's.

Anyways enjoy it, I am looking at it here in Oz but think I might hold off till I see what happens with the bigger bikes.

cheers

You can change the tank skins but not the trellis color. Still, I could change to black on red or white on red.

Any combination looks good imo! ;D
