My new 696!

Congratulations on the new bike.

Ride safe. It seems like at the start of the riding season, people aren't accustomed to seeing bikes on the road.. so in many cases, they DON'T see bikes until it is too late.

Looking at your photos, I only just realized that Ducati has blacked out the engine casings as well? Man - bolt on a chopped tail, & that's it for mods. Your done!

Don't mean to start a huge issue but mine is already broken in .  I followed a friend of mines' instructions that made a lot of sense.  I am sure this topic has floated around here earlier but it involves breaking the bike in immediately. Had the dealer change the oil after I took it 20 miles.  A buddy is following the traditional break in procedure so we'll see the difference.   Oh, and I DO love the bike...don't think I'll ever go back

Cheers!

Ya,  I did the motorman deal.  Thanks for the compliments.  Yep, I am going to keep this thing pretty much stock as Ducati hit the look spot on for me.  You wouldn't believe the looks it gets

Congrats on the new bike.  I have the same one.  I love it!  I just hit the 600 miles yesterday.  This bike is very user friendly.  Practice.  It will get better every ride!
