Title: New S2R owner in Oakland
Post by: Eric@S2R8 on April 23, 2016, 12:06:23 PM

Hi Everyone,

Thanks much for all the great info on here!

I bought my S2R 800 at the end of last summer. It's a 2006, here it is on my ride home from the purchase:

I've also got a 1979 Yamaha XT500, but it's not yet as reliable a runner as the Ducati. I've been riding since 1979, when I couldn't afford an XT...

Cheers all,
Eric

... and with some nice mods - exhaust, tail chop, mirrors, upgraded brakes, shock and maybe fork (?) More?

Welcome [thumbsup]

Thanks!

Only changed the mirrors, relocated the shock reservoir to a less conspicuous location, other minor items, and added dampening rubber inside & throttlemeisters to the handlebars. Oh, also footpeg setbacks.

Next on the list is more mileage! And maybe eventually a spare tank to that can be shrunk...
