The Monster sounds and feels awesome, I couldn't fault it but I know there are many experts out there who might have some comments for me.

I love the Monster in black but quite like the pearl white. Is this a little girly?
I want ABS but I'm being warned off it by most the professionals. Any comments?
Any experiences good or bad with Ducati Aylesbury, and do you recommend I deal with someone there?
What kind of discount should I expect to negotiate from a dealer?

Thanks looking forward to any comments,
Kameloil
Welcome to the club. White looks good I think, but my white wheels are a b**ch to clean. Might be a factor if you use it daily as it won't stay looking nice... then again, black collects dust... they all look nice when clean and polished.

as for ABS, watch this...

I would definitely tick the box after watching, but that's my opinion.
