Ducati Monster Forum

My Monster 796 is at the dealer for some new paintings, got me a replacement bike a Ducati streetfighter (stockmodel). Omg what a power, I do like this bike. They can keep mine Monster, I'll keep this one :D. This bike will be me next bike (when I have some money to but it ofc).
When I saw the new monster model last year a fell in love at the first glimp of it, with a streetfight I didn't had that feeling. But after a few days of driving ... power, steering it all feels so good

Wait they gave you a streetfighter for a loaner?

YEAH, i could choose between a HM 796, HM 1100s or the Streetfighter. :D

Belgium right?  hmm only 4 hrs.. maybe i can get my service done there.

:), they give good service, when your bike needs a service checkup they will come at your home to pick up your bike. But I did got every checkup a replacement bike, 2 times a 696 and now the demo streetfighter bike, next it will be the HM 1100, just wanna try them all.

I'm, I was, I will always be a Monster design fan, always love at first sight. Didn't had that feeling with a SF, but a SF needs some time to love it, to appreciate. But when I need to choose on looks is will always go for the Monster above the SF.

I know the Streetfighter has it all over my M1100 performance wise and I was considering one before I considered the M1100.  I just couldn't get past that "Transformers" look the Streetfighter has and all the plumbing hardware.  Don't get me wrong, if I found a killer deal on a SF I'd go for it but I'd keep the M1100.

The old vs new Monster argument will never end.  I like classic bikes also but times change and IMO, progress has been made with the new Monster.  He11, there's room for all of them; we don't need to argue about it.  [moto]

That dealership sounds awesome, and I'm jealous.

After three days of fun with the SF I got my Monster 796 back, SF is fun, lots of power(wheelies) but I love my 796 and I prefer his looks above the SF. My next bike (in a few years) will be definitely a M1100s and not a SF (maybe my opinion will change in the years). Maybe the power of a SF engine in a Monster bike will be awesome

Your bike is a dude?  I thought they were all women...

I wasn't a fan of the SF but after swopping bikes a couple of weeks ago with a buddy who has a SF I'm now in awe of the performance of the bike, much more power than either my S4Rs or HM1100s.
When following the SF the back end looks awesome as I'd installed a tail tidy and rizoma indicators which lifted the rear and high lighted the 190 tyre, now if they made a 848evo engined SF I just might exchange one of the bikes.. [moto]
