No ABS, no ETC, no Riding Profiles. Bike only knows one Mode. It also does not have a choke, it is an Idler (It sets the throttle higher while it warms up).
Um, what 'magnesium parts' would you be referring to? There are no magnesium parts on that motorcycle. They are aluminum parts painted gold. LOL 'magnesium parts' LMAO you don't know your alloys very well
Wheels are Magnesium alloy.
the original owner claimed a few parts were upgraded including the wheels. As we all know, Ducati is known to upgrade bikes, and magensium is an option.
I'm actually purchasing my first ducati and it's a 05 sr4. This video helped out alot on my decision making lol. Thanks!
I love the clutch rattle from ducati
THANK YOU SIR, for letting the bike speak for itself at the end there! Such a nice song 😎
Nice bike, owned one for 25.000 km with pride and joy but as for 2023, it's not the best naked Ducati, immaculate old school feeling but leg room (bike is too low and knees are bent too much) and steering wheel position causes slow turn, after s4r I've owned a 2014 M1200 for 18.000km most of the issues solved, test drove a M937 recently for 2 tanks of fuel, yes looks are arguable but after the shelving the trellis frame handling is from another world
Your s4r must've been poorly setup. My 05 model turns on a dime and is ultra responsive handling. Mine has heavier rated springs and possibly internals changed. Did you setup your suspension for your bodyweight?
Can also drop the front shocks 1 or 2 lines and raise the rear 5 or 6mm which really sharpens things up alot
@@massivemikeh No, it was at factory settings, I'm 1.73, 82 kg
@@balagozanis1321 Yeah, I set mine up for me with advice from Dave Moss. He shows you how to do sag settings and compression and rebound. Having said that, your bodyweight is about perfect for factory settings, I would've thought.
Great review. Bought the blue version today myself 🤗
Congrats Francis, wish you much fun, which you will have for sure, greetings from Germany.
That's not a choke, it's an idle speed lever. Put it at the lowest setting and leave it alone. If the bike won't stay running, regardless of temperature, you have a mechanical or electrical issue.
Ya love it
And love my 2001 Black ducati monster 916 s4
With a standard wet clutch
Absolutely a blast to ride
Almost bought one of these.
The sound was incredible as were the looks.
Ha! I saw My Crosstrek come up beside at the stop sign.
Awesome video, i owned a ducati monster 696 for a few years
Favorite bike type!
Beautiful bike!
Funny thing, except for the dry clutch chatter, it sounds almost identical to my 2023 Suzuki SV650 (with Scorpion Serket Taper slip on exhaust).
What a beauty
Fabulous!!! I just love your enthusiasm.
Bmw's bike engines aren't flatheads, they're OHV horizontally opposed.
Love my S2R 800 dark so much. More character can't be found and it makes me feel I'm king of the road ❤
that's the air-cooled version?! if so its a keeper for sure!
@@flip_moto yes, air-cooled and wet clutch with 24000km on it. I hope I never have to sell it
@@flip_moto I own a Monster 600 my self. But still, what up votes an aircooled? I assume because of the radiator right?
The air cooled ones are a little simpler. I had a 750 a number of years ago.
This video brings back some squid memories 😅
Are the exhaust pipes factory standard or aftermarket, please?
its a factory upgrade option when purchasing. dual carbon termignoni
i want to know how you set up your gopro and sound. Nice view and very nice sound.
thanks! on the gopro - which i've grown to dislike - lowest fps and iso as possible with medium smoothing. I keep trying to use density filters but they fall off and get expensive. sound is a cheap sony stereo lavalier mic into the cheapest tascam with db turned way down to avoid outside noise.
Beautiful bike beautiful video.
Nice bike!
Radiator is ugly
Totally agree - there is ducati monster 800 s2r that is my holy grail
@@flip_moto You don't like the dry clutch? I think S2R1000 is awesome
