well, you never know there might be something like a band called "red" (like blue!) so I thought I should make it clear. Yes, I've never liked red really although having said that I saw a 1000 ss the other day that looked nice in red.

My faves though in Ducati terms are the dark which just looks fantastic I think and the silver on mine of course

Shame they dont finish em off with a decent coloured top coat tho' Nice one H/S

Nice one hipshaker..that satin silver youve got is one of my favourite colour schemes...Im after a black S4R at the moment and the missus has already asked how much it would cost to get the tank/fairing/seat cowl sprayed up like yours..!! would look pretty good on a black S4R IMO...

Yep..dont waste your money on new bits..no offence but if your new to the bigger stuff you wont get near the limits of the suspension/tyres anyway.

Enjoy your new motor anyway..

BLACK IS THE NEW RED!

Hi all.

I have just joined the DSC and this is my first attempt to use the message board so this could be chaos.

I returned to bikes after many years off last June and bought a 620 Sport (previous bike a 1980 Bonneville bought new) and it was exactly as yours ie silver fully-faired etc.

Though a bit painful on the back and wrist front for an old six foot plus bloke I enjoyed it and quickly considered changing to louder exhausts etc.
In the event I just swapped from the original Bridgestone BT57 tyres to a pair of BT10's.
This completely transformed the bike and was 100% worth doing. I recomend you try this, relatively cheap step - and then give it the summer before forking out on expensive shocks etc
I have just traded our 620 in for a 900SS for that bit more grunt (bearing in mind that herself and I are not exactly lightweights) and it is fabulous - like the 620 but more of everything. Course Scorpion cans help on the sound front!

All the best.

Andy .......... yes I have the BT57's on mine, I read a review which wasn't very complimentary about them. So BT10's are the way forward then.

At 5' 8" I probably don't experience all the same problems as you although I get a bit of wrist and back twinge too.
