I haven't seen it in person but the price is what I like as I will have spare for other bits and pieces. The only thing is that I prefer the twin disc ones more for the looks than anything. Help me find some please!

You mean this one?

DUCATI : Monster M600 Price : £2295
Year : 1995 Mileage : 15000 Colour : RED
DUCATI MONSTER M600 VERY CLEAN CHOICE OF 2 600cc, Manual 6 speed, 1995 M Reg , 15,000 miles, Red. Garaged, good condition, uk bike, Warranty. here we have a stunning monster M600 in ducati red, this ...

totally over-priced (IMHO) - its a 14 year old bike, usually worth about £800 - £1200, and if blinking exceptional maybe £1500 tops, but it would have to be low mileage & immaculate to get to 15.
By the way, they never had 6 speed boxes as std on the M600's..... so be careful........

Walk away mate, you could get a far newer bike for that price - for example, this is a 5 year old bike, much less mileage, and you could prob knock a bit off the price.

and thats just one random look for one.

Take your time, be prepared to travel a bit - and you'll find the right lady for your garage!
- oh, and well done on the test!

hi,welcome and congratulation on passing your test.As said by others your budget will allow you plenty of choice. Just one thing to bear in mind..early 600 (pre '00 i think) are less reliable than early 900, later model are more or less the same (in my experience) with the 620 everything should be fine. Ducati are bikes that like to be loved, but that all add up to the experience. Go for a 2 valves and you won't be disappointed.

Couple of 620's found here on Autotrader - all under £3000

Well done on passing your test - I would definitely hold out for a 620 or an 800.

14-02-2009, 03:29 PM

and dont forget the 695's

uksurfer · 14-02-2009, 04:32 PM

hi
I have a M600, on a 'W' 2000 plate, 2800 miles and paid ?1500 as immaculate.
Nothing wrong with it, as they say, don't rush and have a really good look around, its a buyers market, and there are probably lots of bikes if you look!
good luck and well done

Thanks for the help everyone!

I need to sort out the CBR. I will keep looking, I've also seen some other bikes as well so I will have to make a decision once I narrow down my choices

Nickj · 14-02-2009, 06:49 PM

Good you

Theres an S4 on fleabay, OK HUGGEEE insurance but hey its nice to look .. Only problem is that it looks to have been someones pampered toy, '04 model with 2.2K miles. Never had a belt change in it's life (I asked) so not quite pampered enough.
Watch out for belt changes especially, this one 270343758033 is a potential mechanical disaster waiting to happen!!!
