This was my first Ducati, a 2000 Monster 750, this is the after some custom modifications:
Red Ducati Monster 750 Café Racer
I enjoy modifying cars and motorcycles, so I had to start tinkering with the Ducati as soon as I got it. Items that were removed for performance, weight reduction, and to just look better, include the tail with rear mud flap fender, California emissions items, original rearview mirrors, original turn signal lights, original handle bars, plastic covers, and belt covers. I also shortened the exhaust pipes. I added clip-on handlebars, K&N filters, 14T sprocket, belly pan, rear ride height adjustment.
Check out this website for some of the modifications made, it’s very helpful:

I had some great rides on the motorcycle, including a ride in the rain with my wife before we got married. I sold the bike last year for $4,000 so I could buy my current Ducati, stay tuned for photos and details on that project.
For those with a motorcycle, have an awesome ride.
Read the Bible, trust in Jesus.
It was definitely a fun ride in the pouring rain early in our dating life. Soaked! That was a great #Ducati #motorcycle. Glad you have fun customizing them! :)

Very nice looking Ducati! The frame design of the Monster is appealing especially in that color.
Are you a fan of the new Scrambler line from Ducati?
Thanks, yes I like the new scramblers, but my current Ducati is a heavily modified 848 superbike which I will be doing a post on. I really like the trellis frame.
Que romantico!!! En la lluvia! <3
Gracias!
