  3. Well at least I can tell this forum is active :D

    The bike is black with a red frame, I might buy a different coloured fairing kit if I can find anywhere in the UK that sells them.

    I'll post some photos when the bike is in my hands rather than some dealer photos!

  4. Does it come with any extras?

  5. Get it right then. If I said a
    Monster had plastic wheels you would correct me. If you use words incorrectly you should expect to be corrected. Listen and learn instead of tapping out the first thing that comes into your head. That's what I try to do.

  6. Only minor things; carbon front mudguard extender, adjustable levers, tank pads and tail tidy.

  7. Minor?? Go Google the costs, My levers were £180 and £140 for tail tidy :)

  10. I'll have to try and find out what make they are when I have the bike. I assumed they were inexpensive things.

  11. Would I?
    Back to trying to tell people what to do, how to write and say how people should be, according to you.
    If I may ask that you don't reply until around 23:00 as ill use your reply to send me to sleep.

  14. Is the second link affiliated with "www.Ihavesocialskillissuesanddeepdownknowpeopledontlikeme.aloneinthisworld"?
    As I think the populous of that forum refer to your link often.

  15. My levers are ASV and tail tidy is an evotech one.

  16. Here's a photo of the levers, might be obvious what make they are.

  18. Ah ok, thanks for the photo!

    Is it worth getting bungs/sliders/protectors with it being my first bike? Looks like I can pickup ones for the handlebars and frame for £100.

  19. Don't get universal bar ends, I bought oxford ones and they are too big and will not fit the inside diameter of the bars, Ducati's tend to have a smaller internal bar diameter. But yes a good idea me thinks.

  20. What's usually sufficient? Bar end sliders and frame protectors? I've seen swing arm protectors as well and a few others but I guess you can go on forever having things sticking out to minimise marks on the bike.
