Always liked the Monsters. I used to own a M750. The stock cans always sound a little wimpy, kind of like a sewing machine. Put the unrestricted Termignonis on and fix up the fuel mapping and you'll hear what the V-2 is supposed to sound like. Rear brakes on both Ducs I've owned didn't do a whole bunch, either. They go from no brakes to locked up pretty fast if you rely on them too much. Between engine and front brakes, you have plenty of stop, though. As always, the rear number plate holder/mud guard needs to be taken off and thrown in the trash. lol I'd like to feel what that Urban mode is like. My Duc is from 2007 so "Suicide Mode" is all it has. Of course, I like Suicide Mode so it's all good.
