Who's got the oldest built Monster?
After talking for hours with Ped earlier, I decided to dig deeper into my Monster's past and examined the date stamps on the plastics and the dates on the build ticket. Mine was first sold as new at Aye Gee in Welling Kent via Importer Three Cross. The first owner was an Alex McLeod (of the clan McLeod..?) of Fulham, then a storage company in SW London had it as a company bike, then a chap in Southampton, then the bloke in Fordingbridge I bought it off at 11k miles on 6.9.2001. Needless to say, most of the stamps in the book are in my name, the most recent being at 38k miles and that's the back cover when I gave up paying for servicing.
I found the build ticket- like a small receipt- years ago stashed somewhere within my bike. Any '93 ers out there care to add in this format?? First reg: 13 09 1993 Frame number: 000497 Date stamp on parts: 2 93 Build dates on ticket: 20/1/93 and 10-03-93 Current mileage: 46679 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Not sure about build date - I would have to clean it as I commute on it and its filthy at the mo'
but registered 20-08-93, but the frame and engine number are slightly higher than yours NO yellow hoop, all sorts of chops - works for me! ![]() Last edited by DrD; 15-10-2014 at 07:38 PM.. Reason: Image added |

The two tickets you have there were once rapped around the wiring loom, you would usually only find one suggesting there may have been a replacement loom at some point, great to see the old ones still running and being used

Does the 1992 750ss I bought from Zimbo recently count?
I can't remember the date of first registration but I can check tonight. Is undergoing some TLC at the moment but will be back on the road in the spring. For Zimbo, the dent in the tank has been beaten out and new carbs have been ordered! |

Very nice early Monster...I always like to see a yellow hoop..
![]() I like the action shots too. All it needs is a little bit of polish to the exhaust and she's perfect. ![]() |

Mine is well documented and pictured elsewhere but for the record:
Date of registration. 11/08/93 Chassis number. 1015 Date codes on various things are 4/93 Current mileage is 37k I believe I'm only the third owner, bike was originally sourced by Metropolis Motorcycles as a private import from Germany. Bought by me just over 11 years ago from the very newly established Moto Rapido. Here's a recent pic ![]() After a six year lay up, it's been ace to get it out and about this year Ped

Cool. Hope it's mine then. One of you kind folk may mot and tax him for me!
Being honest I'm nearly there myself now. He's had a lot of new bits (electrical mainly) and work doing on him. I had him checked in a pre-mot and I think I got my money's worth in the reams of paper I recieved listing the faults! |

Ooh, that IS early!!! Dammit- I thought I had the oldest... ![]() ![]() Pedro's really is bang-tidy. Mine is undergoing a sympathetic rebuild at the mo'- repainting what needs it, ie the engine, wheels and sdome ally parts like foothangers, but leaving the frame as is. |
