Monster 1000DS - Its a bit good this one!

Pedro · 08-10-2012, 11:11 AM

Afternoon all

Time has come to part with my 1000....

Ducati Monster 1000DS
Feb 2004 on a 53 plate
Black
Mot until April 2013, currently on sorn
15300 miles

Spec
Marchesini 5 spoke wheels, powder coated last year
Ohlins rear shock with remote preload adjuster
Ducati Performance forks
Aluminium swing arm in place of stock steel item
Matris steering damper
R&G front axle crash bungs
Ducati performance carbon front mudguard
Dark tinted screen on standard bikini fairing
Brembo P4 calipers with good pads and titanium mounting bolts
Brembo radial master cylinder - front brake
Brembo radial master cylinder (billet version) - clutch
Rizoma fluid reservoirs both side
HEL braided hoses in black all round
Rizoma bar end mirrors custom fitted to Oberon Bar Ends
Magura Fat Bar conversion using S2R top yoke
Ducati performance billet fuel cap
Ducati performance gel seat
Ducati performance carbon "arrow" tail and MPL tail tidy
Ducati performance carbon hugger
Carbon side panels
Ducati performance indicators front and rear (folding type)
LED number plate light
MPL billet frame plugs
Ducati performance open air box and K&N filter
Power Commander 3
Sil Motor spaghetti headers
Ducati performance high level titanium cans
Sport Classic black belt covers
MPL clutch slave cylinder
Speedymoto alternator end cap cover
Scottoiler fitted under seat with piping routed through swing arm to custom sharks fin in front of rear sprocket
Stainless steel bolts fitted throughout
Cycle Cat rear sets with remote rear brake kit
Pirelli Rosso Corsa 3 tyres - new

Other stuff
Shims were checked at about 12500 miles and all were spot on
Belts were changed about 12 months ago along with oil and filter
Brake discs and pads all round are good, plenty of life
It had a new starter sprag clutch about 2 years ago
New battery fitted at the same time
Head race bearings were changed this year
Clutch plates are good and it has a DP clutch plate (I think, got a closed cover)
LHS, RHS and clutch cover painted black
Main cases show the usual flaking but not too bad.
Chain and sprockets are in great condition, 14 tooth front sprocket

Overall the bike is in great condition, there is a very minor mark on the tank and a small scuff on the fairing. All the carbon is unfaded and no signs of any cracks. There is two very small dents on one of the exhaust cans but they are minor.

DWR custom mapped the PC3 after the headers were fitted, the result was a 15 bhp rise it power and a massive improvement in the torque curve - up around 30% at 3000 rpm. It now makes 98bhp and will happily pick the front wheel up in second gear off the throttle. It also stops incredibly well too thanks to the radial master cylinder and big calipers - two fingers for braking is all you need even in an emergency!!

MH Racing set up the suspension, the handling is much improved over stock. The DP forks are compliant without being vague, not quite Ohlins but pretty close, the back is Ohlins so as good as you would expect. The new Rosso Corsa 3 tyres offer stupid amounts of grip and seem to help the bike turn quicker than the Michelins that were on before.

Those that have ridden it recently will know just how good this bike is, it's nicely understated in black but goes and stops superbly.

The bike was originally a Ducati UK bike, being used by their MD Tim Maccabe. It was then owned by Fatbloke who sold it on to me. As much as I'm reluctant to sell it, I'm just not getting enough use out of it and have some other projects I want to get started on. I'm not desperate to sell however so no silly offers please!

Looking for sensible offers around £3850

PM me for contact in, bike is in Wiltshire

Any more info, drop me a PM

I shall be sad to see it go, it's one of the best bikes I've owned but the 900 needs some restoration and I have other stuff planned! I could deliver within a reasonable radius if required, or can re-tax it at cost

Come on peeps, is no one interested?

Albie · 11-10-2012, 04:33 PM

I am sure loads are for sure but most of us have them already. Its a lovely bike though and very trick. Can you not get F.B to part with some wonga...... Have you advertised on Ducati forum.co.uk too May get some more interest there.

Good luck with sale

singletrack · 11-10-2012, 06:20 PM

Crikey I missed this!
It really is a beautiful bike.I have always had a soft spot for this particular M1000 ever since I saw it a good few years ago.
Good luck with the sale. I wish I had the money to buy it or the space to keep it.

15-10-2012, 04:26 PM

Delicious.
Good luck with the sale.

slob · 15-10-2012, 06:16 PM

I've had a go, it runs as good as it looks.

16-10-2012, 12:41 PM

I've just sold bike mate and its been tough with loads of contact but little thats actually genuine.

With all those trick parts it would break really well (a shame) should it not go as quickly as you'd like - just a thought

Pedro · 10-11-2012, 03:46 PM

Bumpity bump!

Open to offers or I'm gonna start selling the goodies!

buzzbomb · 10-11-2012, 04:07 PM

Ped it's a lovely bike I don't think that all of your good work is appreciated...

Good luck with the sale.

utopia · 10-11-2012, 06:32 PM

I've never seen this bike in the flesh, but I've always considered it to be one of the very best monsters around.
Tbh, if I was looking for a new bike, I think I'd take this ahead of a new evo.
Seems a crime to split it.
Sadly, I'm both too skint and too besotted with my 750 to be tempted myself.
