Are they gonna stick around for the Ultimate Street Car Challenge that’s being held there this weekend?

Actually, they should just enter the Korres in the WRC. That’s how they’ll beat the Germans once and for all...

OMFG Korres.

I love it. Everything.

Yes.

Your riding habits echo my own! Through rain or shine, in the cold, mileage, etc. Except I’m riding the SV650’s Kawi cousin, and I’m looking to pick up a bigger Kawi. Not to knock the 696, that’s a beaut.

As a fellow Ducatista; I approve. That’s a great bike.

That sounds like great advice — thanks for taking the time. I actually really like the SV’s also, so it wouldn’t be a penalty box in style or otherwise. I’ve got a ‘93 900 Turbo Vert — not so quick, but certainly interesting. Thinking of selling, actually.

As someone who has always loved the monster and who currently daily’s a Saab, I’m jealous. I’m really interested in riding but haven’t taken the plunge yet. Everything I read tells me to buy a starter bike, one that I’m okay with laying down — my irrational instinct tells me to buy a Monster. Would love your opinion.

Hmmm, lives in Virginia, rides Italian bike and has “a small fleet of Saabs”, that Has to be an extremely small demographic, even if you replace “Virginia” with “USA” :)

What I Ride: 2001 Suzuki SV650

That lead gif sure wrote checks that video couldn’t cash.

Guy in the Accord sedan = Hero.

“God did not simply place the Miata in you rear view mirror ...”

Refusing to let another driver past simply because your car has more power than his/hers.

I just got an ‘88 Hawk GT (first time rider) and I have an unhealthy obsession with naked twins (long time cafe’d Virago fan) and the Monster has always somewhat interested me, but I know nothing about Ducatis. Some day I will move to a bigger bike - seeing as they’re Italian, are they a lot of work to keep running?…

Thanks, I just looked over your thread. I think both the Darmah and Imola ‘72 are the best looking Monster Art Kits for 20th AE models like mine.

Nice, here’s my 696:
