Nice colour scheme. ..

Yep, that is one to rebuild/refresh. Get rid of all the trash on it and tear up the roads. Plenty of potential.

:shocked:I wouldn't even contemplate buying from someone who spells that badly. It looks like a scam letter from 'my long lost cousin from Nigeria':shocked::twak::thumbsdown:

Is your cousin a doctor? I might have just sent him my bank details for my windfall!

No I think it's Colin from Microsoft's Mumbai office ;)

There was a LaFerrari on Gumtree a couple of weeks ago. Perfectly spelt ad mind.

Tail chopping. Personally I'd chop about 6ft off it!

I think the title should be: Ducati Monster 666.

I am having a devil of a job keeping my stomach contents down.

Is the question 'Why didn't Ducati do this as a standard colour scheme'??

Wonder why he just didn't get an S4

[Darren69]

Its been on ebay before I remember the hideous green and the backrest thing, but I don't think it was with the 888 engine at that time. Whats the asking price btw?

[alan s4]

^^^^^£2500.00

To be fair it wouldn't take much to sort it out - frame re-paint being the main issue. The shape of the seat also seems to change to a hideous oversized version in the last couple of pics.

Suppose it would make sense if you were a short arse and a proper S4 was too big for you.

[Darren69]

Reasonable then and like you said its only cosmetic, but I'd be tempted to get the whole lot repainted so you'd probably be looking at 500-600 maybe more unless you can paint yourself.

[utopia]

Its hideous.
The red painted rear indicators are particularly nauseous.
And its been put together badly .... note the poorly routed throttle cable and brake line.
I would expect endless problems due to a previous owner who couldn't resist tinkering incompetently at every opportunity.

Probably end up costing double that

I bet paint and powder would come in at roughly 800 alone before the rest was even looked at

I think Pic 3 says it all. In the background there is a bin with "Dartford Recycling" on it...........

By which time you're nearly in S4 territory without all the work.

This owner has something in common with my Mr,s, they are both colour blind.
