Picked up my M659 yesterday. All I can say is......what an amazing bike.  I was lucky that they had a short tail kit in stock so I had this fitted. Pics to follow! Hey Ducm3, congrats on the purchase! Post some pics when you can. It'd be great to see it in black! Cheers |

Cheers for the comments guys, I love it The only thing missing is the rear seat cowl - apparently Ducati Australia forgot to import them! It's on the way though. |

Yes - but they have "Monster 696" printed on them. Ducati Aust forgot to order cowls with "Monster 659" printed. |

they have "Monster 696" printed on them. Performance enhancing then? An extra 37cc! ... BTW, as a black on black 620 owner, nice work on the scheme.. Darken up those foot rest arms, replace those wing they call mirrors add a set of CF termis and you'll be laughing. |

Black on Black is definitely the sexier option. Man I forgot how big the stock mirrors are. |

Yeah congratulations guys. I have seen quite a few of the new-style Monsters out on the road ... probably to the point now that I am seeing more of the new-style than the old. But ... I can only recall one ever being on a Sydney Ozmo ride. Are 'new-style' owners less sociable? Intimidated? Inferiority complex? Superiority complex? Apologies for the threadjack ... just seemed the appropriate place to vent. |

Hey Ducm3, Are you saying the dealer is ordering the cowl for nothing? My dealer hasn't mentioned anything about this. |

Hi Dino659,
There was no mention made about cost - the dealer just told me that the cowl had been ordered and would let me know when it arrives. He said it was a mistake by Duc Australia, so I assume it's supposed to be on the bike.
On another note - you should definitely order the short tail kit - makes a massive difference to how the bike looks!
