Hello everyone,

Just purchased my first Ducati and went with 848 Streetfighter. It was a close run between it and a 1200 Monster but in the end I wanted something more aggressive than the Monster. I look forward to comparing notes with everyone and finding some local riders to hang/ride with.

One of the incentives I received with my purchase was a $1,000 credit towards Ducati accessories. I'm curious as to what fellow owners of this machine think I should buy with the credit. Passenger seat cover and license plate relocate are already a lock but thinking about quickshifter and 14 tooth sprocket. What Ducati parts/accessories would you recommend??

FYI, CRG Arrow mirrors and Shift Tech exhaust hanger are already on the way.

Thanks in advance for your input!

Nice looking ride.. What year is the bike? I own a 1200 Monster and are curious what you meant by "more agressive".

Bought my Monster brand new last summer, just installed a Puig Windscreen last week. Took the bike outside today to wash it, first decent day since this god awful winter ended. Absolutely love the Monster!

Bike is a new 2014. Paid $13,000 out the door. Had 9 miles on the odo. Got the ducati credit and a $200 credit to the dealer's parts department.

By "more aggressive" I was referring more or less to the appearance. I was very close to doing the Monster because I wanted ABS and I thought the dash was awesome. Also the Monster was just redesigned and the SF is probably on its way out of the lineup.
