Can you guys point me to a shop, website, or forum for ducati owners. I’m looking into buying a ducati monster, preferably an 1998-2002. I’m already signed up on monsterforums. Is there a place that is local that sells used bikes? Thanks, Pete ---

ducs suck!!! to much maintenance, not enough power, over priced. they do really suck as for a machine. they need alot more maintenance frequently then any other bike on market. biggest thing they got is name and resale. a 748 makes like 60 hp. thats nothing their torque isnt much either coming from a twin. handling isnt bad but cant match a jap bike of equal performance. the valves on them have to be serviced like every 8k miles. their clutches i think are dry style. i will admit with some good pipes they sound mean but that is about it. even the 999r doesnt stand up to a inline litre bike of the jap. and you just paid 30k for it. where a top litre bike is 10 to 11k and they require alot less maintenance. just some insight ---

thanks quick! you the man. i dont know about the color but i’ll see if i can talk them down to 3k. its close to being due for the 6000mile valve adjustment. wonder if thats already been done to the bike.
