Collecting on the 22nd

02-09-2009, 07:20 AM

Hi I`m collecting my S4 on the 22nd, which is the day after I get back from my hols, am completely new to Ducati, apart from a factory visit a couple of years ago, so will be looking to this forum for advice and guidance, as I`m mainly used to BMWs. john

Well welcome to the club and well done on making the switch. Lots of very helpful people here.

What made you change to the Monster ?

Sort of similar in as much as there's two big pistons slopping around but after that a totally different experience! You don't have the pair of toe warmers/gimbungous crash bungs that BMW fit as standard for a start

There's quite a few Monster people over your way too.

JP, wanted a change/because it came up at the right time (had some spare cash from selling a Boxer Cup) Its a 2001 S4 but fresh out of the crate! was forgotten in the back of the dealers... or something like that. Never ridden one, but if I dont like it will sell in on....john
