    I was looking at one of those last weekend at Ducati of Daytona. Serious and stylish machine. After a few years of gestation, it picks up where the S4RS left off.

    Best ever really? Not the Monster 1200R?

    (just busting balls a bit, 1200 Stripe is very nice)

    I love this bike so much, that Im going to buy a Black R as well , maybe from the same dealership that I got my S from , The R has a smaller seat, but even more leg room. Im hoping I can get another great deal from Magic City Cycles, in the 407 Florida . Ive seen many for sale across the country on Cycle Trader, there are not a lot of people out there buying Ducati s , I think over the winter, Magic City would be willing to let one go, just so they can get their factory incentive, if I told you what I paid for mine, you would shoot me !!! lol

    Thanks for the tip, but my eyes are on the xDiavel/draXter. Where I live, a drag bike is more appropriate. :)

    I rode a Monster R and it is amazing and I loved it. I only wonder how the KTM stacks up since most of the magazines say it is a far superior bike.

    I never tried a naked bike before. I like a quick wipe down after a ride to get that clean and ready look. I wish they made this thing with a nice full fairing.

    I test rode last years and didn't care for the riding position. It was way different than my 2012 1100evo. Tons of power though...that water cooled motor is impressive.
