This is what I replaced the TRX with

Yes, the last of my TRX's went yesterday, along with all the parts. I just thought it was time to move on and have a clear out so i just let the guy take everything.

I'd deliberated long and hard about what to replace it with, but the answer had been staring me in the face for a long time, and was in fact the only reason i got into TRX's int he first place, because i thought it looked and sounded like one of these.

and So I present to you, my Ducati Monster S4

I'm a happy bunny.

Fuel, it likes it

hmm, leant over a bit too far!

Super low mileage, and FSH, had a cam belt and oil and filter 300 miles ago.

carbon hugger, brembo rear brakes

more carbon

Not quite road legal Termignoni cans (carbon of course)

The name says it all

Serious brembo brakage. The wheels have Brembo logo's cast in them too, but are labelled Marchesini.

I am amazed at how similar the TRX was to the duc, for the money they're cracking bikes, I just felt the need to move on an buy the bike I always wanted in the first place. I absolutely love it, it took me about 10 mins on it to decide it was the perfect bike for me and that i'd made the right decision. The only fault I can give it is that the clutch is a bit hard to hold in, but i've got a bad finger so it might be that. Brakes are amazing, makes a mockery of the R1 setup I had on the TRX, and the power, well, it's fun put it that way :-) think of a TRX but times everything by 200% and you get the idea.

Thanks to all on the TRX forum for all the help over the last 3 years, and for convincing me that twins are the way to go, I'll never go to a 4 now.

That's just plain weird...

I got rid of a Monster to get a TRX!

I got sick of it not starting and being so long it hurt my wrists and not being able to filter through traffic in London.

Still, by the time I have finished with the TRX it will have the turning circle of a articulated lorry :-)
