    Nice Duc, you planning on stuntin or just falling? Good luck with the Immobilizer if that's your first Ducati. Both of mine are always leaving me stranded because they won't read the damn electronic key lol

    Sweet!
    Are the Ohlins forks and rear shock stock?
    Yes, that's the S version vs sachs pieces

    My aprilia had full ohlins as well

    Afaik all Ducs came with the Immobilizer. I'm almost certain that Monster did. It may have been bypassed. Which is good for 2 reasons; 1 the Immobilizer is terrible and 2 the only way to do it is with a race ECM.

    You sure the key ain't electronic? They look like normal keys, just have a little chip in it.

    I have an 05 S2R Monster 800 and a 07 1098R

    Being in the car business for 16 years I remember when we had the first cars with factory 18 inch rims. It was the end of the world for the old timers. It was a lot more work to replace tires then on 15 inch rims. Back then 20's were rare.

    LOL, my car has factory 18"s. Quite a step up seeing how the largest ones I've had thus far where 13s, 14s, and most recently 15s.

    I actually prefer smaller wheels. Doesn't look as cool, but the difference in unsprung weight from a 15 to a 17 is very noticeable on a light car.

    15 inch OEM steelies on my 2007 Toyota Yaris were 16 lbs; 18 inch OEM alloys on my 2011 Scion tC: 26.7 lbs. So yeah, you're not wrong. Good thing I didn't stick the Scion wheels on the Yaris ;O)

    Well you're comparing steel to aluminum. I bet my Vette's 20s are lighter than the 14in "alu-mag" on my Corolla

    I used to have a set of 13" magnesium Cromodoras. Now those are light wheels. Sold them because they were worth more than the car they came on :laughing:

    Also because finding a decent 13" street tire is impossible now.
