always wanted a Monster, never quite got one, but...

Nice looking machine! Might need some padding on the seat though...

As to cable ties: I think Ducati went very OTT on them. I've taken dozens of the wide rubber ones off the S4R and, where necessary, replaced them with discrete nylon zip-ties, often securing cables to other parts rather than disfiguring the tasty blue trellis frame. If there's one thing that always bothered me about the aesthetics of Monsters, it's that they mostly look like the mess that is my workshop!
