Ducati newbee; M900ie Dark 2002

26-01-2021, 06:04 PM

Just got my first Non-Harley bike and are super eager to get to know this new member of my bike park.
A test ride on my friends modified M900 left me with no doubt that this would be my next project. After finishing my last project (Sportster XL1200R to Cafe Racer) I wanted to go for a Scrambler look on the next. Had orginally a Triumph or a Sportster in mind, but after riding this M900 I never looked back

Now I have bought a 2002 M900ie Dark, and have started my research for basically everything I need to learn about this bike and brand. Which is a lot😄 How does the bike work, engine set up, specs, electrics, what aftermarked parts will fit, cross-model fitment, model specific options, preferred manufacturers, prices etc. Excited AF!

Welcome! (Perfect timing too as we'll be needing another build thread soon when 350TSS and buzzer have finished their projects.)

Welcome - you have joined the right CLUB!
Bought My M900ie in 2011 as a bit of a wreck - easy to work on though and lots of help available here.
Started with a 907ie followed by an ST2 and then 'Norah' - lots of characture - pulls like Train - sounds great - and can still get my feet on the ground (just) at 80 years of age.
