I would kill for this bike!!!  ( no seriously, this bike is a major factor in my reenlistment, and seeing as I'm an 11B................ :icon_rolleyes: )
When i get this bike, i'm going to become the biggest squid ever!!!!  Matching jacket, helmet, gloves, socks, boxers all of it!!!!!!
My girl told me she thought I was more in love with the S4RS than her.............I respectfully decline to comment on the subject matter.  And besides the bike rides better :o

in my personal opinion if a bike rides better than your girlfriend, you're not doing something, or anything, right. jmo.

The Monster is the original naked sport bike.  I absolutely loved mine.  I still curse the day I sold it, but the money went to good use...

A monster will be mine, just as soon as I finish paying for law school. Except mine will be black. Possibly with the red stripe.

I guess I can see a house taking precedence  :icon_confused: :laugh: :laugh:   :thumb: :thumb:  Ok maybe it's not a better ride than her, but the monster won't Buddha Loves You about how fast you go :laugh:

Or the Bimota version, the Tesi 2D.  Very similar bikes (made in the same factory) and both use 2 valve Duc motors.

You would re-enlist for a motorcycle?  :cookoo:

There are easier and faster ways of making $13,000 my friend.  :icon_lol:

spc

No I wouldn't reenlist just for a motorcycle.  It's just playing a major factor in that I'm willing to switch branch/mos to meet the monetary bonus needs I have set forth. :thumb: :thumb:  I'd reenlist if they made me pay :thumb:

Pilot 22.5, Mid 65 , Mains 147.5, Mixture screw 3.5 turns out

Even if the voices aren't real they have some good ideas.

I've seen the brutale........it's a mean looking bike but MSRP is higher than the S4RS although it does pump out about 15 more horse :icon_twisted:  The only thing I gont like about it is that the headlight makes it look too much like someone just ripped the fairings off of a brand new sport bike and let it go at that :flipoff:  Past that they are very similar bikes.

Similar in the sense of liter naked bikes, but their engines are totally different.

OK I got to looking....That is  a mean bike!!!  But it really doesn't look like there's anymore than a negligable performance difference :icon_confused:  And, it's 3k more than the S4RS.   I know this sounds pretty squidly, but i also want a bike that people recognize and even non-riders know what a ducati is.  I can just imagine being on a brutale and people asking me if thats a ducati :laugh: :icon_confused:  Yeah I'm a f%$king squid.............

True!!!  and it's a damn sexy bike, but I seem to remember that the power/weight ratio was lacking   :icon_confused: :icon_confused:
