Gumtree Bikes

Chris, I bet that was you when you were in short pants back in day.

 

I have a few questions. Last MoT ran out 4 years ago and the last service was 76 miles after the MoT in October 2017. Would a belt service be sufficient to recommission a bike that has been laid up for 4 years ? I dislike all the blue shit that has been sprinkled over the bike, the ASV levers and the awful nose cone. Is the original equipment removed included in the sale ? Oh yes, why is a £15k bike being sold for £10k, what is wrong with it ? Andy

 

nothing to do with sale, messy monstro needs loving home.
Ducati Monster M900 project - one of first 500 made, needs work | in Swansea | Gumtree

 

Only perceived value in being one of the first 500 made would be if it were original. This is so messed around with and tatty there is no realistic hope of returning it to standard.

Of course, if it was a Varese Monster, then things might be different

 

^ yep, forks too, 916'ish?

 

Hey Chris.

The Clocks are similar to a genuine Ducati performance set that I had on my M900 when I first brought it.
If also DP mine sold for £450 when I moved them on, which is a significant lump of the purchase price of that bike.
The Revcounter is quite unique in that it runs off the Carbie IC ignitors, rather than a signal from the ECU as per the later bikes.
I'll have a scan through the catalogue later and see if I can find them.
EDIT - Nope, not in there, must stop jumping to conclusions.

I believe that tank is also in the Ducati Performance catalogue too.

As well as lots of other things the Forks are wrong too.
The first M900s actually had non-adjustable Showas fitted, but dropping in some adjustable ones was a good idea.

 

‘kill it with fire’ for me probably worth more broken but not £1750 but then peeps can be free and easy with their money

Not gumtree but close enough. Sfs 21k miles on the clock but looks like it's been well maintained!

 

It's not my bike just saw it advertised.

 

Nice paint job. Not!

 

Been on eBay for a while and would have been yellow originally. Andy

 

A Tart's handbag with that paint colour choice.

 

That sort of language screams run a mile.

 

That’s a chitta, worth half that IMO. My lad prefers that version to the later fake 916 version.
