New boy after some advice re M900

13-03-2007, 05:48 PM

Hello Everybod
Looks like a top site full of info you just never come across.
I'm after buying my first Monster and could do with your views please:

Looking for advice on buying a M900ies. Think that is correct.
Year 2000 with 8000 miles on the clock.
Three owners from new and dont think there is much by way of service history.
Light blue paint with white central stripe and white powdercoat frame.
Paint job is a cracker with tiny bit of metal flake. Same as Renault GP cars.
Bit scruffy in places and bright metal parts weathered a bit, but it aint new.
Ohlin Rear Suspension and 50 mm Termogoni Exhausts.
Asking £2110

Anything to look for on this model?
Any major flaws?
Cheers
Nick

Have the belts been done do you know and have you any info on servicing at all? Seqarch the threads using te search option for the model and you might find some interesting facts out! I have an M900ie and I love it - sweetest motor out there, perhaps bar the 1000DS but I love it - hope it's a good 'un!

Welcome to the forum

Most important thing (as benson says) find out when the belts were done, or get them changed ASAP!

Seriously mate, it's a good price expecially with the Ohlins, get it bought before somebody else does!
