Monster Gallery

Amazing how the monster and the 748 have stood the test of time. Think they both came out in the same year too?

 

Saw this very pretty S2R in Bari this morning. It is in pristine condition but I guess they have the climate here.

 

I had the clutch cover changed on the Monster today. Cnc milled a magnesium cover for the Streetfighter.
Fits right on. Was satisfied with the result

 

My S4RS after yesterdays ride.

 

Then the last trip was done for this year. Washed, polished and serviced.
Now we just have to wait until spring, and next season.
Until then, I can do a maintenance charge, polish a few more times, and maybe upgrade with some new parts?

For me, these two go in the category of functional art

New clothes for the Monster.

She comes up very shiny too:

 

Casey Stoner, who was Ducati's official MotoGP test rider at the time, signed this at WDW 2016 at the Misano circuit
Very cool to have such an item

Washed and cleaned ready for the next ride out

 

I found this gem in an old Mick Walker book



Thinking about it, all his examples were wrong too haha

 

My new to me Monster 1200s. 2017 only 6k on the clock. Superb condition.
Upgrades planned, Luimoto seat cover, some ducabike bits, evotech folding levers and evotech rad, engine and oil guards

 

Sweet.

 

I think you will love it

 

I think I will. Coming from a Gen 2 Diavel I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing, as I loved the Diavel.
I've only had one 10 mile ride so far - it is a totally different bike to the Diavel and not in a bad way - power to weight ratio feels about the same, I love the agility and nimble feel compared to the Diavel and the 'upgrades' that come with it - Ohlins, quick shifters, improved electrics and features - are a complete joy. I'll put a picture up when I'm done with the changes I'm making
