A search through this thread will bring you the answers easily.

 

Bro, if you want to be spoonfed the answers, at least provide basic info like new bike, old bike, how many year old bike, what kind of maintenance (basic, full etc) la. Help people to help you.

when i was a ducati newbie,i learn really fast that it is important to service the bike religiously....5k interval is very important.10k service will be equally important too.

ppl tend skip this service invervals due to the cost and problems will surface and will cost more to rectify.

[technicolorhighway]

Cool...tats 7 plus cumming 2 8 yrs now. N a gd source of valuable info n exp as a monster owner.

 

 

 

Largely agree with u as e M659 is really a lovely catch 4 a newbie 2 get start in e arena of continental bikes but won't get it in a heat beat thou:cheeky: Gotta set aside fun money 1st (d/p, inst, svc cost, sikali cost..).

 

 

 

Hmmm...shld hav consider this bike (2nd hd) when i sourcing 4 a cl2A bike, end up buying a S4 verS frm an ang mo 2 yrs back. Haiz...

 

2nd dukes got 2 catergories

cluless owners

1-2yrs old bikes

 

clueless owner will whack the bike til it is not worth to fix themselves then youll get a bargain

1-2 yrs ones will have the bike properly run-in'd and maintainence look'd after but will cost more.

my advice

if u really gianz for a duke?get the class 2 models.

btw them the class 2a will just be eye candy.nothing more i previously own ed m400 b4 switched to m900 3 month later.

as for services they'll cost the same...most of the parts can be shared between them not all but most.then at this point ppl then not to bother with maintaining it...just a transition stage.

so potential owners need to understand this.power or looks.

once u get the ducati bug...you'll then want more.m400 will give half way.

super4 will eat you alive.

[Duke_Monster]

i feel tht e m400 is more than enough for sg roads. top spd of abt 170-180...more for a FI model.... enough torque for great pick up. it's equivalent to a super4. consumption is quite gd too. yr comment makes it sound like every super4 rider should instead get a cb1000... i'm juz commenting. no arrows. =)... there's a reason y the super4's r more popular compared to cb1000. same scenario for m400 and m900... insurance and etc makes e m400 a more popular choice.

True ... if got class 2 go for the bigger monsters. More shiok plus trademark unique dry clutch noise!

Gd advice lah....got cl2 n an affordable duke (695) all seems e more attractive than a M400 (4 my case). Btw, coolcat, i like ur signature phrase thou:thumb:

[coolcat]

My signature quote actually came from an ex-M900 rider friend of mine, who put 4 years and much $$$ on a M900 when he was quite poor. Told me that that was the worst and best times he had on 2 wheels .... keke .. now he is a dirt rider and enjoyed it so much.

 

Moral of the story; riding at its most basic is a transport, can be a hobby or a passion, but don't break the bank or neglect your loved ones doing so!

 

My advice, buy new only if you keeping the bike, otherwise get a second hand one, better value and lower risk. Pm if you think i can help in anyway.

 

Cheers

True, the M400 is good enuff for Singapore roads. But I think when riding passionate bikes like Ducati bikes, apart from the flash element you want some presence and power, and one of the Monsters' trademark is torque, loads of it, and having tried both M900 and owned a M400, there is really no comparison. As for people who want to go top-end fast on Italian bikes, I always say, get a R6 or R1, they will do the job better, and cheaper. But you will compromise on the passion and head-turning elements.

 

Juz my 2 cents' worth.

yea, i guess u're correct. nv had or even rode a m900 but i wouldn't b surprised abt e torque thingy.more than twice e capacity. in any case, as long as u love wad u do, dont bother abt e hearsays. it juz limits yr own pursuit for any passion

[coolcat]

BTW, my fren's Frankenmonster is for sale. A Ducati M900 project with a 916 single swingarm and high mounts; can't remember what other stuff there. My fren is a real bike nut and hands on guy, good stuff he did.

 

My fren has another bike and bought another ride, hence selling. It was featured on ducatimonster.org ... you can view the bike at Mike Chong's.

true.enough for sg roads.dont make the mistake that s4 is compatible to m400 in the performance dept.i onced trash m400 wif my gs400 and was trash by s4 when i had my m400.

 

when buying consider this

 

2a for life? if not when get class 2.u will be itching

performer/poser? s4 performs

hand on/hands off? dukes need a lot of attentions technically

budget/loaded duke is no budget bike.cheap ones burns pocket later.

 

dukes for life!

GOT PICTURES......

[gabng]

Anyone know of a MultiStrada 1000DS rider with Plate AT18XX?

[coolcat]

GOT PICTURES......

 

Tried searching for his ad, but I think he pulled them off. Suggest you see Mike Chong, and ask about a 900 Monster with a single swingarm. He'll know which one, after all, only one in Singapore.

I can do one better than just pictures. Click here to find out about the entire bike. It is totally one sweet ass ride.

 

I would buy it in a heartbeat if i didn't already have a monster.

 

On another note, the new Ducati's that were recently rolled out are S E R I O U S L Y tempting me. I don't know how long more i can resist...heh

[coolcat]

Yes, that's the one.

 

Lost my ducatimonster.org id and password already, been a while since I was a monster owner.
