New Monster spotted!

Hi,
I was getting my car MoT'd in Haslemere on Friday when I spotted a new Monster in the car park. Waited a while but no sign of the proud owner. This bike seems a bit of a rare bird so far and I would be interested to hear if there are any owners on the Forum yet?

I was wondering that too, Tim.

Rob, is that something you can find easily from the membership database?

The new Monster recently won "Bike of the Year" in BIKE magazine.

It has been getting excellent reviews elsewhere as well, it might not be universally loved on here, however it looks to be a success for Ducati.

I've see a couple out and about recently.

One passed through Strathyre on Saturday, as I was in the Broch . First I’ve seen. Interesting situation in the West of Scotland, Ducati Glasgow folded and Manchester have taken the franchise, relocating from the prominent purpose built facility (shared with the now defunct Triumph dealership) to a less “upmarket” (ex Yamaha) site. Before and during the upheaval I understand that prospective Ducati buyers could not get the initial servicing programme confirmed....I heard that initial oil change lead time was 5/6 weeks....this must have impacted on new sales.....
