Hi From Sussex

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Max-Duc, Oct 13, 2022.

  1. Hi everyone, just to say hello.

    I'm currently in the dreaded position we all fear - bikeless! :joy:;)

    I sold my Africa Twin when the right offer came about a few weeks ago and now the only 'bike' in the garage is my wife's Django scooter and that's too blooming dangerous for words - skittish doesn't come into it... o_O

    Looking to get my first Ducati and lusted after Monsters for donkey's years - I'm after a nice 796 so may well pop up a few questions.

  2. Hi Max - hope u find a good one. Massive choice and don't rule out the third series with the all-steel tank. :upyeah:

  3. Welcome to the forum Max.:)
     
  4. Cheers chaps. Chris, that looks lovely - I'm reasonably up on the model numbers (so many) as been trying to learn as much as possible before short listing likely models that appeal the most. But...when you say third series how does that fit into the years/models please?

    I've a lot to learn but I did think they all had the classic steel type tanks?
     
  5. 2nd generation (M696/796/1100) have plastic tanks and were the last of the 2v air cooled engines.
     
  6. Thanks - so presuming first gen is the original 93 on model, then the above you noted, then third gen water cooled?

  9. Hi Max, I ride with a few of us from the Eastbourne area, 4 Multistrada’s plus others. Let us know when you get a Duc
