I am not much of a Supersport bike guy but lately I have been lusting after one of these. Thank God they're outta my price range so I can keep on lusting lol.

I have an 03 Monster 1000ie. Very nice bike and excellent step up from the GS. Not supersport fast but quick enough for the street and very comfortable.

very nice, me and a buddy went to the Ducati dealer in Milwaukee and rode all the new 2012s, the 1100 EVO was by far my favorite!

1100 monster is nice. Stick with the 2 Valve air cooled Ducatis and you can't go wrong. The 4 valve cost a bit to maintain.

Duc's are sexy...

I'm gonna get me a monster one of these days. I think I'd just kill myself in about 5 miles on a supersport...

i do miss my 750 paso i had in phoenix. bought it from one of my teachers out there. clattered like hell when cold. ( noisy desmodromic valve system. ) fun to maintain. but i became quite adept at doing so. considering school had all parts one would need. never had to pay directly for parts lol
