Another New member Looking for Monster

Hi

I'm from Devon and also looking for a Ducati Monster,.

I've seen a few 1100s' around one at c£6300 in Exeter at a dealers with lots of goodies on, white with 9,300 miles and a few others c£6k.

What sort of price is realistic these days and what should I look out for?

I've just seen on here that there's and issues with ethanol content distorting the plastic tanks... is that common, Ive not heard of that issue. Does it also affect the 796's?

Also, when they were still in production it was possible to buy alternative tank/seat cowl/belly pans etc, so you could change the bike to the colour/design you wished.

Are they still available? As I'd prefer red so could alter the white bike in Exeter....

Any help gratefully received.

Nick
