I have a S2r 1000 the bike I had previously was an R6. This ducati has far more character than a Japanese bike could ever hope to have. When I set out to buy a bike I wanted something that spoke to my soul and this bike delivers in spades. My bike hates a constant speed and it love to get beat on, 4k-9k are just magic. It make funky noises, snaps crackles and pops. It's subtly styled and is obnoxious when you want it to be. I'll die on this bike before I sell it.

Man, it's not a wise idea to tell people to skip the rear brakes as much as possible only because the front brakes got aprox 70% of your braking power. When you're riding faster and you only use your front brakes, in the momentum of the stopping process, all the weight of the bike will be transfered to the front part of the bike, making your (i dont know in english the word for the bar that got the commands such as thr clutch, lights and the front brakes) really heavier and therefore harder to control. You guys should ALWAYS use both brakes.

@ducatinyc

you are 10000% correct and came just in time for my updated HOW TO RIDE video I posted yesterday - now that I've been riding for more than a year and I 100% recommend using both brakes. always. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5WElNuSkbypZtI.html

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Great question. I guess I just wanted something a bit more rare and special and I've always wanted a Ducati - Monster specifically. A Honda or Suzuki would be half the price and much cheaper to maintain but there is something extremely special about riding a rare beast like a Monster. Only 30k bikes were made that year by Ducati, and only like 20% of them were 620's that year - so there is only a few thousand of these out there. As opposed to a million Hondas made that year. :)

I know many bikers who started on 600 or 1000 cc and tought if they can go by 300 km/h they are pro riders. And a lot of stores ended up in hospital, with serious injuries, because they could not control their beasts. It is easier to learn to ride, and corner on bikes with less power. Obviously you can start on 600 or 1000cc bike and you can learn but in my opinion it is dangerous. Im not saying you are wrong and Im glad if it worked out fine.
