Going back a little further in Monster history to when Ducati's were out of many people's financial reach (mostly due to the high price and frequent servicing required) and true of it's Italian exotica label- in 1993 a 900 Monster £7500 which was £500 more expensive than the then ground breaking Honda Fireblade.
So here's how the figures added up from back then and in subsequent years how the factory began to make them 'more affordable' by stretching out the service intervals:
