Anyone holding or parting out?

Mark,

How is that ST3 and why do you want to switch?

I seriously considered an ST3 before I got the Multi. Nice riding bike but you have more of a forward and down riding position. And you don't have the cool underseat pipes and a shitload more bodywork should you drop it.

Love to have ...

Take the 20K mi service for example. The biggest $$$ is replacing the air filter and the fuel filter. Why? Because it takes shop time to remove the tank. However anyone can do this - seriously even if you aren't that inclined it's a simple matter of following very simple directions. Tackle that ...

There is an "ouch" on the right rear panel where it brushed against a wall. Several deep but short scratches. Can this be repaired without buying a new panel? For $250 or less?

Some 04s also had an oil cooler recall (lines and the cooler itself).

Thanks for the replys guys - I'm talking about the same smell like you were sitting directly behind the exhaust of a bike, and it was beating you in the riding gear. Not just a general "bike smell". From the above comments I'll take it as a "NO!"



Definitely a No for the rider. Plenty of people ...

Some '04 Multistradas also had an issue with the oil cooler lines leaking - another Ducati recall/replacement covered even outside of warranty.

Something to check into...

I use my 1000 for city driving in Washington DC, but I split lanes, ride on sidewalks and generally ride like the cops are chasing me and I have $5,000 worth of crack in my backpack.

It works for me.

I've never been all that comfortable riding a Monster. I'm average height, 5' 10", but always felt cramped on one. I love their look and concept though. A Monster is more of a short hop bike than the MTS. The MTS is much quicker turning than a Monster IMO, and more versatile.


Agreed. At 6'2" I ...

Is this process like buying a car?

Do I test drive it?

Can I haggle with the salesperson?

Do I try to find an '06 620?

I'm 5'10 205lbs and a bit out of shape.

Being new, will I even notice the difference between the standards and S models?

Thanks for your help in advance. I will be buying a ...
