Even better red and full luggage! Mine only has the panniers but with a Givi Top Box mated to the Nonfango top rack, works well though, my 2001 has 23500 under the belt so far.

Hi Masher

Just struck me as funny, I went to Three Cross near Ringwood Hants one weekend where I purchased the ST and was just browsing through the Ducatis on offer. A salesman approached me and asked if I was interested in any of the bikes.I said I'm always looking just to appease him.He asked me what I had and what the milage was.When I told him it had 19000 on the clock he looked at me in horror and said and I quote ""If you want a good resale value or trade in price it's not good to have done so many miles" I walked away and aint been back since!!When other people comment on Ducati milages and reliability I say just Google the name Gary Eagan and he will show what they are capable of,check it out.I gotta go back to Moto GP site now to watch live timing.

Hi All, joined recently and thought I'd better say hello, as I have been posting on other threads!

I'm Richard and ride a MHR Mark 1, that I have modified to make it easier to live with in some respects - and for all you lot out there who believe in total originality, I have kept all the bits safely to return it to its original condition, even the broken and shagged-out parts! (There are plenty...)

I live in Chichester on the South coast, and normally ride the roads around Petersfield/Midhurst/Petworth, plus others further afield, and regularly use Bury Hill, with occasional Box Hill outings. Bike has been rebuilt over a period of 2 years, I will post some pictures at some point.

Hoping to meet all you Ducatisti out there, lead a busy life, as we all do, so I'm happy to find a good excuse to allow the family to get on without me for brief periods while I let off steam

Oh...and the drinks are on me!

hello all, another newbie!!!

i am 18 and live in cambridge, and i currently own a kawasaki ZZR 600, but with me new job comes a lot more money, so i have set my mind on a 749s. i am also a powerfreak - www.powerfreaks.co.uk - and enjoy ride outs, and general bike banter.

Hi Folks!

New to the forum.

My name's Liam, and I live in Belfast. I currently have an '04 Monster M620 Sie with Scorpion cans, K&N, Dynojet Power Commander, Skimmed and Gas Flowed heads, Rear Hugger and Bellypan. I've owned it for around 3 years now, but don't get out on it as often as I'd like. (Only 6000 miles on it!)

My ideal Ducati is the 1098R (shocker!)

I found the site while looking for tech help online, and hopefully I'll find out what I need. I would also like to use the site to find other Ducatisti in my area for rideouts etc.

Hi all,
I'm new to this site, well any sites really, so hello.

I've had my Monster (620ie Dark) for just over 12 months and I love it, had a Yamaha FZR 400 before but no comparison, I just love the Ducati!
Getting the bike out tomorrow for the first time since April due to being thrown from my horse and breaking my back (all plated & pinned now) so if all goes well and the blumin weather pick up, hopefully I will join you on some of the rides, are there many in the Yorkshire area?
Bye for now

Oops, I've got 13k miles on my 2006 bike. But, it was built to be ridden.
