2000 Ducati 996 Strada
It had 4530 miles when I took ownership in San Diego. It has a good bit of aftermarket parts:
LSL top clamp and bars
Monster headlight, flyscreen, and associated brackets
Ohlins damper
DP keyless gas cap
Sargent seat
Magnesium wheels
Carbon belly pan, heel guards, heat shield
Cycle Cat highly adjustable foot controls/pegs
FIM UM222 single injector chip
Full Termi exhaust
Full floating front rotors
Unknown clutch slave
Pazzo (or knockoffs) levers
Waterpump slider cover
I was told it has a Nichols light weight flywheel.
Currently geared at 15/41 which is still too high but better than the 15/36 it was stock.
Battery and electronics are crammed into the tail.
It is comfy as is so I don't have any ergo changes in mind at this point. The mirrors are fugly, but functional. I ordered a replacement tach since the current one was erratic on the 550 mile ride home and eventually stopped working all together.
I pulled out the nice camera for this (really just to make CK happy)
I haven't decided what direction to take with this bike yet, other than to ride it so this thread may be a little boring.
This thing was super twitchy on the long ride home and was leaking fuel. That combined with the loud exhaust, rattle of the clutch, rattle of the full floating rotors, malfunctioning tach, and wheelie happy behavior earned it the nickname Rowdy
