    For the first time since 1988 my flag ship is not a Yamaha!

    I traded the FZ1S in yesterday for this little beauty:

    Ducati Monster S2R 1000…2008

    Ridden 200 miles on the Duke so far and I have to say I love it!

    It really is  lovely lovely bike and sounds awesome! Not so awesome was the speed the folks in Norfolk get things done

    Very nice and a different beast to the Fazer for sure. Looks like it comes with its own halo too (although I’m sure that won’t last long!).

    I enjoyed Thumpers M600 and have hankered after a Duke for many years. Finally got around to it.

    Troube is I still fancy a V7 or a Bonnie too!

    Just lovely for the sunshine, cracking shotgun pipes bet they set the odd car alarm off. Health to enjoy.

    This will be the ‘Sunday-best’ bike with the Thundercat taking over touring duties from the FZ1S

    Well just under a 1000 miles in six months and verdict so far is very positive. Great noise, love the handling and the gutsy performance. The miserable tank range is a problem, but hey ho.

    Couldn’t see to adjust the chain either, but not too bad once I watched this:

    The handbook says take to dealer…for chain adjustment!!?
