Oz Monster Introductions

[Yellow Meanie]

Thanks Jukie. Yes the Yellow bikes are certainly not as "common" as the red and black are they! 


Hi Techno, I live in Launceston. You wouldn't have seen the bike yet as I've just ridden her down from Brisbane.
I'm at work at the moment, but will be back at the end of January. I should have some new pipes, and maybe some other bits and pieces by then, that will require some "testing out".

Hi Yellow

YAY another TASSIE, (we now have more than WA........YES!!!) and another Yellow beastie, where in Launceston? 

I am on the outskirts, on the way out of Launceston to the NW coast?

Bazz, he is on the East Coast.

I see you have been on (dare I say it) the other site (Monster List) I was going to tell you about this site but you made it with out prompting.

Anyways Cheers welcome EGAS

G'day, My names Vossy.
A South Aussie living on the Fleurieu Peninsula
Riding for 25 years, just sold my current bike on the weekend (gixxer750) and now on the hunt for a S2R1000 prefebably a 06 - 07 model. My first Monster-- CAN'T WAIT 
Looking forward to talking monsters and other bike related stuff.

Stay upright ! 

[Jukie]

welcome welcome Vossy

Welcome Vossy. Good luck with your hunt, according to Spider S2R1000 are tuff to find.... must mean they're great right 

Good luck and dive in to the forum, you'll have some fun

[mattyvas]

Welcome Vossy,

    Good to have you here, once you buy a Monster you'll never want another bike.
Enjoy the hunt and the purchase, your life will change once you own a Monster.

Don't worry Vossy, they are going to start coming up soon with the introduction of the 1100s. and at the moment s2r1000's new have free termi cans! so that has to help too! You'll get there eventually, it does take time though and they are great, highly addictive. Enjoy.

People here are very friendly....you'll get used to Jukie and Gazza though!

Welcome Vossy.

Good choice of next bike.  Just as everyone else has said - they are addictive.

Welcome Vossy.

Nice place where you live.
You would have seen a few Ducati's last October with the Turismo. Did that inspire you to sell the Gixxer and get a monster?

[Betty]

.... at the moment s2r1000's new have free termi cans! so that has to help too!

Interesting. Does anybody actually have new S2R1000s though? As free termis means free DP ECU .... sounds like a bargain.

Don't worry Vossy, they are going to start coming up soon with the introduction of the 1100s.

I am interested to see how this pans out as many current monster owners don't fancy the look of the new monster (forgetting for a moment what it actually is as a bike and the expected ridiculousness of the price tag). It could be argued that the S2R1000 was the best of breed with all the attributes of a true Ducati Monster: dry clutch, SSS, full trellis frame, air cooled

So those that are willing to part with their beloved will be demanding top dollar, regardless of what else is available in the marketplace .... just a theory.

People here are very friendly....you'll get used you may learn to tolerate Jukie, Spider and GazzaDragon though!

... fixed it for ya 

[Spider]

Nice edit. 

after reading reviews (both Magazines, online and Spidey's) it sounds like the new 1100 is better in almost every way over s2r....I say almost...I believe the bike just isn't going to fit big blokes well...and the lack of front fairing!

I think the styling will win people over eventually once they see them in the flesh and the mods start happening...

enough threadjacking....back to HELLO!!! 

[vossy]

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome.
I hoped with the new 1100 coming out, there would be a few about , but time will tell I guess.
I've always liked the aircooled Ducs. Used to have a 600 pant many years ago untill it got stolen buy some low life.
There's one on ebay at the moment which sounds interesting.

If anyone hears of a 06 or 07 S2R1000 in preferably Red or black will surfice drop me a line.

Cheers people
