Heh...


My 2c:
1.) Suspension setup.
2.) Good gear for all weather conditions you plan to ride in. Would be first, but you seem comfortable on this front.
3.) Paint the pressure plate.
4.) Clip-ons and rear sets.
5.) Bling.

Start saving for the next bike?
Would you rather buy a Monster and put $10,000 in mods in it or buy a Monster and a Multi?
I'd rather have two stock bikes than one blinged out bike.

if you're an internet junkie like i am. you just have to watch your judgment sometimes. reading threads and threads and threads of everything monster, sometimes has a bad influence on my wallet. i find myself sometimes wanting everything, and realistically only needing the basics.

but seriously if you want to do some upgrades, try get it used if you. like you wanted a pressure plate. i was watching a ducati performance one on ebay, and sold for like $50. perfect condition

my monster is by no means perfect. dented and scratched tank, badly faded carbon parts, battery acid paint damage. a monster's going to catch eyes no matter the condition.

turn the bike's radio to track 1. Desmo.......and enjoy

Great advice right there.  Especially with the used market right now.  I just picked up an S2R 1000, with 3100 miles on it, for $5k.  Why waste money on bling?

Found it on my local Craigslist of all places.  Was also looking at a clean 800 SS for $4600.  Lots of cheap bikes out there.

Best part about my find was the guy was asking $5500 for it.  Told him that price was too high and he took $500 off!  New battery, rear 2ct tire, fresh oil change.  Couldn't pass it up.

He said all his friends ride Jap bikes and gave him crap about riding the Ducati.  Wanted cash so he could buy a Jap bike.

Yeah I'm starting to feel this way. Once I'm done rebuilding the Monster she's done. She stays that way and I'm starting to save for a Sport Tourer.

suspension...

...lifts on hard acceleration.

I don't care what you do to my suspension, that's still gonna happen.

And if you told me you'd found something that'd make it stop, I'd tell you to keep it.

Did you ask her about the old board?
