Sold a couple 650's,am keeping the Z900 SE. Leaning toward the V2 Streetfighter but the Monster looks interesting as well. Help!!!! |

I havent ridden a Monster in many years and def never a Streetfighter, but I prefer the styling of the monster over the SF. I take the SF view as the more aggressive, more powerful bike. SF - more on the track side, the Monster - more on the street side. Where you want to be, depends on you. There is a reason the Monster has been around for so long. |

My current ride is a sf v2. I haven't ridden any of the newer monsters, but have an older air-cooled one. I don't see why ducati makes the monster anymore. The legacy of that bike was that it was a parts bin naked that they somehow made sexy and fun. It doesn't really have that allure anymore. They're still cool and all, but the streetfighter fits the same role, is faster and better looking. |

Streetfighter in the hand seems to sport bikey till im in front of it.. if it had a round headlight option Id be sold. Ride both? You can't get a test ride on a Duc. They even stopped doing demo days. |

Am going with the Streetfighter V2S. Pick her up next week. Also getting the Ducati Performance Rider Raised seat...Extra height/padding will come in handy on longer rides Attached File |
