Have been a member on here forever-but I have finally bought myself a 900 monster-which is what I originally wanted in 1996 when I bought my first Ducati-bought a 900SS instead, then a 996, ST4S, 1078SS, 1200 Multistrada S, and now finally a 900Sie Monster in black-it's only taken me 17 years................
I pick it up on Wednesday and am really looking forward to it-back to the simplicity of an air cooled engine.

Welcome Monty!
Your story is similar to mine, except yours started 2 years earlier, and involved several more Ducatis.. some rather nice ones in that list (and one horrible one :running:).
Nice looking Monster, and in the best colour too. :)

That'll be coming off Yorkie old mate-it has a set of high level Ti Termi's with it. The current owner was going to sell them seperately-I convinced him to let me have them with the bike. The 'interesting' exhaust will be going on sale...................

Don't know which one you would consider nasty Black Bob-I have loved all of them-all different, and all great in their own way.

The Scrambler you haven't mentioned is proper nice.

Didn't mention that one Slob as since it is a bevel it's not really relevant on here-but yes I still have my 450RT-I won't ever be parting with that one. I also didn't mention the Gilera Nuovo Saturno which I still have, the BSA BB34 Competition I am rebuilding, the 1953 Gilera Saturno I sold about 5 years ago, the Ducati 250GT and 2 x BSA ZB32 Competitions I also sold, or the GasGas Pampera I currently have for sale...........hmmm, too many bikes really.
