WHAT
not a fan of red as a colour. are you a fan of red as some thing else then...........like a type of fish maybe:puzzled:

repeat after me


red is the colour
red is the colour
red is the colour
red is the colour
red is the colour


i'm sure you will come to your senses soon

;)

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 ;)

RED\'s a fantastic undercoat!
 

Shame they dont finish em off with a decent coloured top coat tho' :lol: 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..

Rock on Glyn!

SIGH...I cant believe we are on the colour debate again...

BLACK IS THE NEW RED!:devil:

620 Sport
 

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.

:rodent::"Mullet"

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.
