| Ducati Monster 620 I saw a monster 620 at the dealer yesterday. It looked like a replica of some racers. I think it had a #64 or something on it and some dude's name I've never heard of. Of course the sales ass was no help.
Based on this limited info do any of you know who this racer could be?

| Re: Ducati Monster 620 It's #65 Loris Capirossi Special they added a few bits that don't come on the normal 620i. I was thinking about one for the Wife and another bike for me too. |

I couldn't read the name, and would have prcognized Capriossi's had I been able to. Why would they put that Capriossi stuff on a moster 620? Do they even race those bikes in any type of small series?

| Re: Ducati Monster 620 Looked like it might have had stainless lines in the front. |

| Re: Ducati Monster 620 Don't take this the wrong way, but I'd steer clear of the smaller displacement Monsters. An SV650 will rip that 620 a new one, and do it for alot less money.
Having said that (and after owning both a well modded SV and now this big bore Monster), the larger displacement Ducati variants are the cat's meow.  |

| Re: Ducati Monster 620 I'm not considering it. It caught my eye, but it doesn't have enough "substance".
