That's a gorgeous bike. I'm looking at the Monster as well... Thinking S2R, but since I'm a new rider I'll probably start on a smaller bike before moving up to a Monster.
I am still doing mods to my Duc. It is one thing that is tough for me when it comes to the boxster; modification are few and they don't really do anything for the car. I guess it is a good thing when it comes so good from the factory but i like personalizing my rides.
