Just checking in from Tennessee. I have a 2012 FZ8 and a 2007 Ducati Monster S4R. I got the FZ8 brand new when I was 17 after growing up riding dirt bikes, 4 wheelers, and a 650cc dual sport when I got my motorcycle license at 15. I bought the Ducati a year ago after years of wanting one because of my older brother having a 2005 S4R.
The FZ8 has a lot of mods on it; I installed 2007 R1 forks (Traxxion Dynamics AK20 cartridge kit), wheel, axle/spacers with Brembo GP4RX calipers (yeah I know, way overkill but was wanting some bling!), PVC throttle mod, sprockets, Vortex rearsets, Brembo RCS 19 master cylinder, clip ons, Ohlins rear shock, Spiegler brake lines, SP Engineering slip on with Black Widow headers, and Flashtuned.
The Duc has an Ohlins rear shock, Racetech cartridges and full Akra exhaust (previous owner had that installed).
My brother has been obsessed with trackdays for nearly 10 years, he has a 2016 R1 and of course I have gotten hooked on them as well. I have been using my FZ8 as my track bike for a few years now, not the best bike for the track but has been great to learn how to ride on the track on an "underpowered" bike rather than getting in over my head with an overpowered bike.
