Got a few grand to spend on a bike as there is no point having it in the bank. These are two I fancy. What do you reckon?
A chap that AndyB_11 and I am acquainted with has just written a short piece in MCN - he recommends going for the rarer 750cc Ducati Monster

That man will take money from anyone and obviously has no standards if he’s willing to work for MCN.
Being fair, he has put work my way before but I turned it down because it was a lot of hassle for a grand.
didn't ask you to carry out a death threat did he? I think mine is current...
I think people are missing your point
I picked this up in November. The same engine as the early M900 Monsters and very easy to look after. The belt change is easy to do. Valve clearance is more involved, but if your not clocking the miles up you probably won't touch them for a few years once done.
They are physically small, especially compared to a boxer cup (had one of those as well) but ride beautifully. Definitely a proper bike with bags more character than a BCR....and the sound they make is fantastic
Used to have one of these in yellow anything post 97 has US electrics i believe and doesn't have any gremlins. I had a stage 2 DJ and Termi cans. Carbon cans are a no no on these as the pulses destroy the bonding over time apparently.
Belts are a piece of pisch to change 45 degree turn middway and that is tight enough. Standard equipment is much better than other bikes have. The monster as said is the same. If I had to choose between my GS and a monster I'd go for the Duke.
There's a lot of nonsense written in that post...
My mate got an early 900 for £1200 and made this
Turned out to be an excellent investment too
