I still got my bike 2001' Monster which I can work on myself because it's the last year of air aspirated models- Ducati 2002 onwards use fuel injection and digital cpus that are pain in the arse. I wrench on it myself and replaced the rearend with a beefier 900 SS sp setup. Replaced gastank and seat/fenders carbon fiber bits / replaced engine with a milled and drilled stroked 944cc ' courtesy of Ducati Performance catalog along with lightn'ed flywheel etc. Termigoni exhaust system.
I do'nt like being bent over with all my weight on my wrists so I do'nt relate to well with sportbikes. My other bikes are sportbikes and do'nt get ridden as much ( 900ss SP / 907ie Desmo ) yeah i lik V twins more than 4's.
because of the upright riding position is more comfortable and fun.
I took a California Highway Patrol certified riders course which saved wear and tear on 'your bike' and upon passing the course and paper test automatically gives you your DMV class M1 ( motorcycle ) license. note they provide the motorcycle and rider course test component of your states DMV license.
