Nice [evil]
[thumbsup]
beautiful! But I hope you have a garage to put that in? Not just the pop-up in the background? ;)
Sweet [thumbsup]
Oh for the coin to have one of these things.
Lovely bit of gear you got there! Good on ya [thumbsup]
Let it be noted that I officially hate you.
Nice bike man!!! Would be my first choice if'n I had the dosh for it...
that is the first picture where I think the SF looks good!!!! I really need to see one in person!
That's a big step up! Congrats!
Was it a dealer demo bike with all the mods already done? What a fabulous upgrade. Good for you!
Excellent...! [beer]
That is a great looking ride, congrats! [thumbsup]
Purdy. [evil]
Nice...I can dig the slash cut Termi's, looks very nice. Let Us know the differance in riding style You encounter, should be a bit different....
That looks fantastic. Those are a cool set of pipes. I want to ride it!

it looks better in person, but the bike is TINY!
Glad to see that you got the Termi's on it - the stock exhaust sounds so puny in comparison to the bike. Nice! [thumbsup]
Gratz! Talk about an upgrade!! [thumbsup]
WANT.
More power too you!!!!
[moto] [beer]
Ciao!
Great upgrade!
How easy/difficult do you find the move, regarding the difference in power an 2v vs 4v? How many years riding experience do you have ? (I'm hoping of doing the same thing if the opportunity presents itself.)
the SF is really growing on me. that red is just beautiful.

So true. I didn't realize that until I sat in one.
CONTRATS ON THE NEW RIDE!

Rest assured it's WHEEEEEEEEEELIE easy. [evil]
I see sleeper clutch, yezz? Ore jus presser plait?
Congrats. I love the look of a SF with Termis. Dunno what it is about those pipes, but they really make the look. [thumbsup]
My full envy is with you :)
Perfect !!
Have fun and drive save.

Amen Brother. I'd consider a second job for one.
Thanks for the compliments :)
To answer some of your questions:
The first thing I notice is the seat height, I am 32" inseam and I barely touching the ground with my toes.
lots of power and torque...... wheelie when first time test rode it in front of the dealership by mistake.. :P getting use to it.....
I think I miss is the mini bikini fairing on the 696, it actually helps on freeway speed. I tried 130mph and need to fight the wind resistance hard.....
At last..... almost forgot to mention the brake --- one finger only!!!!
696 to an SF. Hold on! [evil]
Congrats man, you're gonna love it. It's a very very good motorcycle. [thumbsup]
whats the Forza program from the dealer?
Can you take and post a couple more hi-res shots for backgrounds for us non-sf owners :-[ ;D
congrats

That's a fantastic shot! Where is that, the north side of Tam?
termi did the streetfighter slip ons so much nicer than the aftermarket 696 and 1100 monster slip ons...

Yep, up on Bolinas ridge (aka Ridgecrest Blvd.) They shoot a bunch of car commercials up there - it's pretty damn scenic.
I need to do a Tam ride again...it's been too long! [thumbsup]

You know, for being a big bike, the Streetfighter is remarkably fun on the really twisty parts of Tam. I think once I put Michelin 2CTs on it, it'll be even better.

I'd love to hook up with you guys for a ride sometime...it's kind of a drag that I work weekends...
BTW...my profile pic was taken on the west side of Fairfax/Bolinas Rd...one of my favorites!

Weekdays are better anyway, no? Post up something on the SF MOB board (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=19.0) and we'll do a ride sometime.
