Hi dude, it's a real surprise you're selling your bike and decide for a car.

Keep the bike dude, ducatis are good bike to keep for a long time.

 

Anyway, good luck for your sales.

Cheers!

Hi, I know tailchop can make your bike look nicer but water can also be splashed onto yr back if the floor is wet. I think it is not suitable if we ride everyday and if it rains frequently. Just my opinion.

Hello every1....

 

It took me really a long time to able to post onto this forum, have been finding a relative active ducati forum and at last, found it..!!!

 

but it took me something like 4 days to read up from the past 96 pages of information, alot of ppl 2cent worth of info, comments,remarks and of coz advices...

 

Going thru all the 96pages, seriously, is like read an interesting storybook where ppl share their interests,their love, from ducati lover to ducati owner to ducati seller...basically, every1 is bonded becoz of one word "Ducati"...but frankly,as much as i wan to learn more of a ducati...i find abit hard to digest becoz simply ppl here are so kind and information is so much....

 

time to do a simple intro...i hav fall in love with ducati monster since my first time i set my sight on it...maybe like 14yrs old or so....but have to go thru war and hardship with my mum to convince her to allow me to take bike lesson till 24yrs old(it have been a long and tough war but i won..hahaha) since then, i set my sight on getting a monster as the ultimate dream

 

:lovestruck:

 

On 6/6/06,when i got my 2A lic...is monster hunting time and in 3 weeks, me have finally fulfil my childhood dream of owning a monster...thanks to a kind soul Chris for letting go his well-taken care '99 black powder monster...cant give better compliement..bike in prefect condition and paint work is 9/10 still,new tyre and the cleaniness is hard to believe is a 7yrs old,at least in my prespective...amazing...

 

But...of coz fulfilling my dream...it take some pain..i have depleted all my savings while need to continue pay some external loans..hahahah..but the moment i sat on it...all hardship is worth it...or shld i say hold the key and admiring the bike already make such hardship so sweet....so abt all thos mod...hahhaa..i tink it will take me a long long time to achieve....

 

After i get my class2 lic nxt yr, high chance i guess i will switch to a touring bike...reali wan to actively particpting in such touring...but i know....deep down in my heart...monster will forever be the most beautiful and desired bike in my view...actually still thinking of owning 2 bikes,but me poor lah....dont tink hav the endurance to keep 2 bikes...hahahaha

 

 

who koe....maybe get a bigger monster instead or S2R or S4R....hahaha..

 

But glad to know all of u and by the way, do u still have gathering on the 2nd week of every mth as stated in the much earlier part of this forum...will wan to join u all and ask questions abt the maintainance of monster if time permit and of coz u all dont depisce me...

if got other gatherings, will love to join

 

by the way...me never see a ducati arou at bedok wher i live, the oni 1 that i alway see will be a blue ducati parking at marine parade blk 77 carparks(at my frenz place),does it belong to someone in this forum??

 

k lah....grandfather's story will end here....

wishing all riders safely and happy....

May Monsters all roar and growl...!!!!

a very touching 'life story'....

alamak! i really meant that I'm touched. its a passion... and he worked towards his passion... [impressive]!

[tabako]

Hey guys, i bought my ducati monster 900 already...

 

but i feel the clutch is a bit hard, can adjust or not, how to adjust har.

[yohji]

jonathan543

The MOST important thing is the engine. If the engine is good, then you are quite safe because engine (including the parts inside it) is very expensive and troublesome to repair. You might end up spending $1K-$2K fixing the engine and taking public transport for a few weeks. I would pay $5K for a bike with an ok engine than pay $3K for a bike with an engine waiting to break down. If owner says he has service records, ask him to show you. A Ducati owner who does his maintenance regularly would be very proud to show you his records I guess it is ok to have black tapes wrapping wires on the bike. I do that on my bike too.

 

Ah Thor

Nice to "meet" you. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I had fun reading it I also want to keep 2 or more bikes (a wild Monster, a screaming R6 and a smooth Fazer maybe?) if I could but too bad I am also a poor guy. I plan to get my class 2 license later on also but sadly, I do not think I would get a bigger Monster. It is too costly to maintain everytime the odometer adds on another 20, 000KM. I might be getting a Kawaski Z1000. I heard Kawasaki parts are very expensive too but I don't think it can beat Ducati haha! See you around.

 

tabako

Monster 900. Nice! BTW the hard clutch is one of the main features of a Monster haha! It trains your left arm and fingers. I don't think you can adjust it. You can install a device (can't remember what it's name - slave reservior or something like that) to make the clutch SLIGHTLY lighter. For me, I just live with it. It's a Monster remember? You have to tame it and let it know that you are it's master

[jonathan543]

but considering my finances, think cant afford a duke for now.... i juz have to live with my planet for the time being... heheh....

[Ah_Thor]

hi every1,

Planet is a very sexy bike also! It was one of my dream bikes in my class2b days man! I still find it very unique. Don't give up your dream man. You can always save up bit by bit and get yourself a Monster.

[foolosophy]

whose yellow and red ducatis was at SIM just now?

reason i got the planet is because it's the closest i can get to a 2bmonster haha. the price for a fq plate m4 is affordable. main worry's the labour charge... from wad i can see, makes up almost 40-50% of the overall price for most forms of servicings and such.

plus my planet consumes fuel like 14-15km/l, almost like a m9, not very economical at all. so was wondering to chiong for a 2a monster for gd mileage instead, or to hold out to get a m9 instead with its noisy dry clutch. but that'll add up to the overall cost of maintaining the bike too.... but should get plenty of usable power too....
