Ducati Monster Forum

Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum. I live in Santa Fe and currently ride an SV650. I am thinking about getting a Streetfighter.  ;D

our friend JJ lives up there he has a tricolor 1098

Welcome! Come to Ducnite or for a ride!

Welcome.  Do you come to Albuquerque much?

Glad you could join us, Amigo.  Stay tuned for ride information, etc.  It probably takes me about as long to get to a crest ride as it'd take you, so come on down and join the fun.

This crazy dude works with me...few desks away...Some of my good Duc influence :) Hope he gets the street fighter soon and we'll have a team in Santa Fe started... [moto] Welcome A!  [beer]

Thanks everyone for all the Looooooooove. I look forward to riding with you.  [beer]

Friday?  Saturday?  Sunday?  Name your poison.  I plan to ride all three days, myself, so who's up for some mileage?  Maybe a Jemez loop or something?

Would y'all kindly move this convo to the "Who's riding this weekend?" thread?  [coffee]

Just kidding.  :-*

hey this a threadjacking section of the forum...

dont make jack every thread  ;D

Oh yeah, I was forgetting the thread jacking code.   :-\  Thanks Mouse!  ;D

ahghi said, " I look forward to riding with you."  I was just trying to give him an opportunity to fulfill his fantasy! [thumbsup] 

Heck....I might even wear black leather, just to tease Kingbaby.  (http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/hump.gif)

The "humping" emoticon is really off base.  [laugh]  [laugh]  HYPNOTIZING INFACT

But then no one will be able to tell us appart.   [beer]

Oh god, I must be getting old or something.  I thought that was "back scratching".   :-\  Oofda!

In that case...Cloner, get off my boyfriend!!!!   >:(

 [laugh]

Cloner versus Dusty, huh....once you've had fat, you'll never want THAT.  Back me up, KK.    :o
 ;D

Of course you know, this means war......

Hell if I care, I just wanted to see her boobies three times on the same page.   :o


 :P

Nice way to turn on a pal, Pal.  (actually, they are quite nice, but I wanted keep up the illusion of gayness for those who are unfamiliar with us)

Boobies are definitely the way to jack a thread!!!

Ok, this is NOT going the way I intended.   :-\

Changing the subject ...  8)

Am I crazy or this makes sense to others as well?

When I originally wanted to get a Monster 1100S for 14K and then I saw the brochures for the Streetfighter and the regular version is only 15K, I decided to go with the Streetfighter. I cannot justify the 4 grand price difference between the regular and the S on the Streetfighter though.

Don't get me wrong I love the 1100S and I have ridden the demo at PJ's (with the Termis, sweeeet Lord it sounds good!) multiple times, but $1000 for 155 hp instead of 95 hp. Too tempting, too tempting!

What's you take?  ???

To quote a good friend of mine: "There is no replacement for displacement.".  When it comes to things like this, I always have to ask, how do you ride and how do you want to ride it?  I mean, really, some people just want to do good lap times at the track and all they need is a 600cc engine.  Some people want to go super fast and that just won't do.  You have to be really honest with exactly what you want the bike to do.

And that's my 2 cents.

Make sure you test ride them both...they are quite different.
Buy what suits your riding style and what you feel the most comfortable with.
Don't forget to hang with the right crowd that is willing to show you the ropes when
it comes to riding skills. I was fortunate to hook up with the NMMR crowd.   

the streetfighter definately has the gangster appeal and its a lot faster up in the top rev range than the monster, but it depends on where you're planning on riding, i'd compare the street more to a inline 4 sportbike where as the monster is your typical low end twin. do you like immediate grunt or gobs of power in the top of the rev range? both do nasty wheelies and the brakes are overload on both also, i prefer the street just because i like the superbike chassis a little more on S14 and through the twisties, but the monster is more fun in ton and the mtor is easier to ride.
that's my take, but just wait till saturday to buy... jk

is that when you will be there?   ;D  [thumbsup]
