My wife and I went for a drive today and ordered a new bike to add to the stable. A black 2018 model Ducati Monster 821. We will keep the ST2 for now as it is comfortable with the Supersport, the 250 single and the BMW K100RS in the garage.
The new 821 comes with some interesting updates, the same 110 bhp engine, but things like colour TFT screen and riding modes similar to the Supersport, improve the bike. She is having the higher “comfort” seat fitted due to having long legs.
When Judes niece comes to visit on her red version of the same bike, it will make interesting outings.
Some of the things planned at the moment are: A noisier lighter exhaust which might include elimination of the catalytic converter, perhaps flatter bars to alter the riding position, a small screen to improve the looks of the bike, exhaust flapper valve removal, and other things.
Watch this space.
Sounds good and quite a stable of bikes you have there now. BTW. I plan to be back in Europe in July.

Let us know if you will be in this area Mick. The Paddies will be here end of May this year, but there will be others too.
