Hi, all. Just recently purchased an '04 Monster S4R with 13k and thought I'd join you guys here. A bit of an interesting trade, I sold my Thruxton for it, but ended up getting a pretty good deal on the Monster for less than what I actually sold the Triumph for, so it worked out alright.

I do all of my own work on my bikes, so I'm hoping to absorb as much information as I can here regarding maintenance and future mods. I've already done a few things to it, and the previous owner had put quite a few toys on it to get the ball rolling.

Looking forward to the ownership experience! Coming from the Thruxton, the Ducati is on an entirely different level. I haven't had this much fun on a motorcycle since I started riding.

Both nice bikes there. Welcome to the Ducati fold.

I agree... and welcome!

Even coming off a liter-class CBR, I'd forgotten how much fun it is to just ride!  The Monster brought that all back...
