    Re: Bikes:Duc, D675 and R6

    Have any addition pictures of the Monster?

    Any idea of the seat height?

    Do you happen to know if they can be easily lowered by an inch or two?

    Good deal. Said rider is 5'2" on a good day. Works in Reading, so this would be an easy ride over to look at it. Huge upgrade from a GS500.

    You can also shave the seat if needed, but you may not need to.

    Buddy sat on my SV last night. It was too tall for him. That has the same seat height.

    It'll need to be lowered for sure.

    SVs are nice, but to me, they don't hold a candle to the Ducati in the visceral department....

    Re: Bikes:Duc, D675 and R6

    Clayton,

    The seat is higher than stock, I raised the front and rear of the s2r to maintain an acceptable geometry with the fork swap. It can still be lowered in the rear, but the front is max'd FYI.

    let me know

    That's too bad. He needs something in the 29" seat height range. Oh well, worth asking.

    Re: Bikes:Duc, D675 and R6

    The monster is not sold. But it's undergoing another round of modifications / updates for the time being as I was not satisfied selling it as it sat. I'll be upgrading the brakes to 320mm and updated calipers. Different rear shock setup (current one has ~7k miles). Refreshing the elec system w/ a better RR setup and grounding, also re-located the rear blinkers further from the exhausts. I might go as far as a re-tune to get rid of the PC3.
    It may or may not be back up for sale afterwards.
