hello folks

hiya all, i have been browsing this forum for quite some time in my search for a monster when it occured to me that i might be better registering and putting out word. just getting my uk licence now and got my heart set on a monster upwards of 800cc. something clean and tidy, dont mind the trimmings at this stage. any body out there willing to part with theirs...?

Hiya conner, welcome.
Jump to the for sale thread and you will find a few indiots who think its a good idea to part with their Monsters
Welcome to the site and what ever monster you get remember the only colour to choose is NO Colour.

Hello Conner

Don't think you're getting your hands on mine, but you've made one hell of a choice! Like Lord Vader says, there's plenty of muppets out there willing to sell!

Good Luck
Hammy

Hi conner and welcome.
Many for sale as mentioned, but the prices seem too high at some places. Must be spring. Look carefuly before parting with your hard earned.

Hi mate - check out Bobob's thread "What to buy".

There's a link to a very nice M900 which is in the for sale thread in my post. Before you ask I'm not getting or even looking for any commission from Woody. It's the proper Ducati colour too!!

yeah i had a look at it. how do they go when they have that many miles on the clock. also i heard in 2001 they fuel injected the monster giving it quite the edge over the older ones.

Whats yer bugdet?
you could pick up scrappy tat for under a grand if you look all the way up to the blingiest spankyest metal on the block.
As a guide my 2001 M750 Dark with a few Mods and only 7K on the clock is worth roughly £2500, + the £300 dark surcharge for being the best Colour choice by far.
if you could go to £3000 you could get some very nice used metal indeed, £3500 and your into dealer teritory with the added bonus of warranty etc.

Whats that coming over the hill?
Is it a Monster?
Is it a MONSTEEEEEEERRRR?????

yep welcome and I agree you could pay a bit more for a coloured version. This is a surcharge added as punishment for not choosing the only colour, the Dark

I think you'll find you pay more for colour models because they don't come with bargain basement bits.
