Great combo

mine 2007 S4RS and a 2000 328I

nice... I had the Audi/Ducati combo going for awhile... but one of them had to go and it sure as hell wasn't gonna be the bike!

I have an Italian motorcycle, German car, and Spanish bicycle. ;D [thumbsup]

Beautiful machines...

I hope you didn't leave the Beemer parked in front of the fire hydrant for too long...  ;)

Mine is '07 695 and '06 330i

I would sell the car in a heartbeat. The bike, not so much...

you got some serious ride  [thumbsup]

 :) nice, what kind of bicycle do you have?

I wasn't sure what the G-500 was, so I googled it.

Does yours look anything like this?  ;D ;D ;D

An Orbea Onix (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=1537.0).

I think it's the civilian version is what Bick have, but I might be mistaken  ;)

thanks for the link, that's an awesome looking bike  [thumbsup]

Find a twisty mountain road somewhere, and take exactly THAT photo - it'll look superb. Nice capture.  [thumbsup]

Nice combo... The 696 is growing on me [thumbsup]

The German/Italian combo seems to be working-

German- Z4, K1200RS, R75/5

Italian- 1098s, Paul Smart, Monza 250

German - 2007 VW Passat
Italian - 2006 S2R1000

Gotta love that 969

 ;D

Interesting thing about the 696.

1. Tank color can be changed easily, and it comes stock with a non-scratch 'stripe'.
2. Tank dings are no more - vents, and interchangeable panels.
3. headlight is already low profile.
4. indicators are all LEDs.
5. 'tail chop' is essentially stock.
6. concealed wiring stock.
7. underseat exhausts - stock

what else is there left for us to do? aftermarket mirrors? that's it?  ;D

'99 Audi A4 2.8
'01 M750 Dark
'03 998

It seems we all have think pretty much the same on this topic. The reason we feel so strongly about the Monster is the same reason we like the German made cars.  I have a 93 BMW 325I and a 96 M900. I love them both  [thumbsup] and although neither have a great deal of power, they have enough and there handling is like no other. Even though they are both older vehicles, they both put a smile  [cheeky] on my face every time I drive/ride them. And besides, we like having something a little different. [clap]

 ;D  I haven't finished all the mods, so not quite like that.   ;D

I tell ya, these jackasses in rush hour traffic... 

I almost forgot I still have this (http://www.amazon.com/JL421-Badonkadonk-Land-Cruiser-Tank/dp/B00067F1CE/) on my Amazon wishlist.

Right now I'm putting more miles on the duc than the Audi.

 

No Italian machines at the moment, but I've always driven autos from ze mudderland
'01 CLK430 aka the urban assult vehicle.  It doesn't get washed much and it gets run into things, jumped, and dented on a regular basis

'97 328i, 07 s2r1k

the bimmer has 160k on it, im shooting for 225-250k and my mom is signing the papers on a 335i coupe w/ a 6sp in a few days.  hopefully her 3-4 year car cycle coincides with my 328i replacement plan :D

I took the bait.

01 BMW "M" Roadster. Sports package. Dinan Stage 3 Software. Cold air intake. 349 HP, Just over 3000 lb car 4 SALE. These things are fast,,, but not practical,,, almost like my bike  [cheeky] I want a nice riding BMW. 645 CI would be nice.

that is still one of the best looking bikes i have ever seen  [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

Thanks! Me too -- always wanted one, couldn't quite swing it when they were new (same with the car). Finally got one!

i would have to say its all about the Italian AND Italian machines for me:

2002 Maserati CambioCorsa Coupe
2005 Ducati S4R Monster

(http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/alecdmurrayS4R/IMG_3785.jpg)

That's a very sweet combo  [thumbsup] I'm jealous  ;)

The Euro stuff I've had...

Four Ducs... ST2, 750 Monster, 999, 750 Supersport

Four German cars... BMW 318i, Porsche 912E, Porsche 944, Audi A6 Quattro

Brit... Triumph Bonneville T-100

watch... Tag Heuer Formula One

Oddly, I'm mostly a fan of Japanese stuff. I get a boner when things don't break, and I've had real good luck with Japanese cars and bikes.  [evil]

I've just had so many things with wheels that a few were bound to come from Europe. Plus, it's hard to pass up a German sports car or an Italian motorcycle every now and then. I'm slightly interested in the new BMW "1 series" convertibles, and there is a part of me that has always wanted a boxer-engine motorcycle. For some strange reason, I am also attracted to the idea of having a Husqvarna dualsport.

I'm guessing I'll survive without any more German vehicles. I can see a Lexus IS350 or SC in my future instead. But... I'll have more European motorcycles.  ;D

Your neighbors are a little scared of you perhaps.

OK European fetish here too (have or had)

1. (Of course listed first) The German wife (have)
2. Ducati M696 (have)
3. Fiat 124 spider (have, but needing restoration or selling, $1000 and come pick it up)
4. BMW 730i (had and will again when I get back to Germany)
5. Triumph TR-7 (had)
6. Ford Mondeo (European cop car, had)

My '74 750 GT and my German Neon. (Since sold, replaced with a smoking Jetta wagon 1.8t)

(http://www.teamyikes.com/Resources/Ride.jpg)

Hah. i should post up a pic of my s2r and my neon. great combo.

upgrade! moved on to a 2009 audi s5.  still have the s2r800 - but picking up a 109s in a few weeks....these pics are with my friends 999....


once i figure out how to insert images i will.  yes - i'm retarded - but at least i dont have a photo-op pic up here.

funny, I've got the same combo, e46 plus monster!

been meaning to take a similar shot..........just too busy playing with either. lol

05 S2R 800 for the short haul and a "new"
88 BMW R100RT for the long.  They say old air heads are quirky.  So far - two trips over 200 miles, two major problems.  That will happen when you buy a bike older than your sister  :)

As for the cage, a poor lowly 95 Probe that's had a dead battery for a month.  It's part Japanese I guess. 

I go with German for winter:
'91 325iX

I need to wash my car so I can take a picture of the 2

07 golf (rabbit) <--under warranty for another 2k miles...then the mods start  [thumbsup]
03 620 dark

both are black, of course. I thought about powder coating the wheels on the golf so I can call it a dark too  [laugh]

awesome! thanks, I love bimmers as much as I love ducatis (maybe even more!)

that thing is in awesome shape, had it repainted?

Nope.  It's original 'cinibar red'.  Has all the dings, dents, key marks (has been keyed like 5 times), even a little yellow mark up front from a cab in NYC.  Just looks so good cause I had it detailed and they used the clay bar treatment to bring back the shine (was REAL dul and pink) then put two coats of wax on it. 

wow, I need to get some of that clar bar treatment! (whatever that is)

whats is up with people keying bimmers?

mine was keyed at the airport two weeks after I bought it!!!

I don't have any shots with the Ducati, but this is my "other" bike, does it count?

Car is dirty cause we camped out all weekend on a ranch and took part in a "dirt" duathlon

I LOVE that S5...

2005 E46 M3 - black, 6M ... the prize ... the reason i studied hard in school. 

then i had a kid and decided i had to grow up and get something more practical, so i sold it  :'( and got an '03 M620  ;D

I may not have quite as big-ballin' a collection as some of you guys, but I do appreciate the german/italian combo!

Here are my 330i sport, and my m900ie (no, I didn't do a cutesy photo shoot of both vehicles snuggled up together at some viewpoint...hahaha, not that I haven't done that in the past):

sorry, you guys are just showing out now.

and the problem is?

Here's some pictures of some older german machines I had for a bit.

The good ol' 620 and the boxster out for a ride:

Then the S4RS.

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3562/3496641829_ba8810294b.jpg?v=0)

then to the Sedan, I think the S4RS could have fit in the back seat.   ;D

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3416/3497458148_6a0eb6a33a.jpg?v=0)

With room to spare!  [laugh]

Very nice!  I tried the S5 up at Infineon for Audi's ride and drive ... and that car was a blast!


When I was shopping for a new TV, I remember going to the store and picking the TV up.  The guys looked at the car with a look of disbelief that it would fit in there, but they walked it into the car and threw it in the back seat.   ;D

Let's see, 2 Germans, 2 Italians...
2002 Audi A4 3.0 Quattro
2009 BMW E92 M3
2005 S2R 800
2008 848

Have to keep things even!

I can see this turning into a poll - What car do you currently have to pair with your Monster.

my ONLY form of nationalism;
Italian Bike-Monster 1100
German Car-Audi A4
Swiss Watch
Nicaraguan Cigars
Single Malt Scotch Whisky

have to stick with the Swede's

Nice  [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

Sick car, man!

how do you like the 128? i hope you have the 6speed right ;)

Of course I have the 6spd. no ladymatic here.  I love it.  I'm not a turbo fan so i didn't go for the 135, also didn't want to spend another 6 grand , even though it's a ton faster.  This has plenty of power and rips through turns.  After having an A4 I was looking for something light and agile (porsche CaymanS was the first choice, but yeah right) and it was relatively cheap at $28,000, after some hard-nosed negotiating. The sports package is a must have and the only option worth spending on IMO. After having a fully loaded A4 I realized I don't use have the shit it came with and might as well thrown dollar bills down the toilet. 

If your considering one let me know so I can tell you a little more.

that benz is so fresh  [thumbsup]

It's strange how a lot of us have German cars to go along with our bikes. I'm in the same boat...

Here are mine, an '03 M800Sie and '04 R1100S  [thumbsup]

(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s253/mendoje1/R1100S%20and%20M800S/04R1100S-03M800Sierearquarter-1.jpg)

About pairing up German and Italian machinery, I think for me it's really all about TWINS other than I2's.  I would really like to add a Buell and a Guzzi to the line-up! [moto]

This is getting out of hand now.

The German - 1993 BMW 325i - just went through hell making two cars into one. had an auto and found a 5-spd same color, same interior, same etc. swapped all the good from the auto to the 5-spd and sold the auto.

The Italian - 2000 Ducati M750 - apart for the winter, thinking of obscene ways to defile her before the winter clears

The Austrian??- 1999 KTM EXC 250 - I just sold it but I will only own KTM's for offroad this is my second in 4 years.

yep

i think it only right you guys amend this thread to include japanese vehicles and call it the "Vehicles of the Axis Powers"

Since this is back on the main page, I'll throw mine in here:

01 330 ci
07 S4RS

Yes it is.

Since that by itself meets the criteria for this thread, how about a few more pics of it!  [thumbsup]

New to the forum.. going to be picking up an M696 soon but in the mean time.. another member suggested i post some pictures :)
