Ducati Monster Forum

I have looked for a monster for sale locally. I am in nC so I check craigslist for NC, SC, GA, and VA however there is nothing decent for sale. I have e-mailed about 5 Monsters and 5 superbikes but it seems like the owners never email me back...is there a scam going on???? I know what bikes are usally scams but I e-mail ones that have  aphone # and personal e-mail...whats up?

There are a bunch of them here.

Not local to you, but the price is right. Even with shipping.

I think a lot of people who are going to sell tend to wait until spring to list their bikes thinking they're more likely to get a better price when the weathers looking more friendly for casual riders.

+1, theres a huge dip in the amount of bikes for sale. Most people have just given up after posting for several weeks.

However, you may still have luck if you are looking in places that are a bit warmer.

I am in NY, willing to travel as south as Miami, and as far west as the Mississippi via greyhound/train (whatever is cheaper) and ride it back... You are defintely not going to find that many monsters/sbks for sale up north though.


Also...make sure your not looking at those scams....$1500 SBKs...not happening.

that may be the worst looking bike I have ever seen!!!

haha....yeah, you are probably right

I didn't look at it at first until you said something,  [puke]

Want a showroom 1999 cromo with 1708 miles?

the gauntlet has been thrown.

I'm holding out for one with 1707 miles.


Sorry man-you were *so* close.

 [laugh]

He Man,  did you read my post about the new monster 1100's at orange county choppers yesterday?

I would like it, but u r not local to me, and I am not shipping.....the right bike is out there i just ned the owner to realize i need it more than them!

where are you in NC?  I am in Charlotte and I have a 96 M900 that might need a new home (I picked up a Hypermotard).  PM me for details.

sent you pm...we live very close!!

Like others have said, motorcycles for sale seem to dry up a bit over the winter, but they'll be back come spring.  However, they usually go for a little higher price in the spring as people get the itch to start riding.

Newly listed 2007 S2R 1000 .  I know it isn't a DSS, but it does sound like a great deal and it is in NC.

thanks !!! I may follow up on that!

Brother I really appreciate all your help but like i have said to you before I am looking LOCAL...NC is not near LA!!!!!!!! ;D  Again thanks for all your help!

This 05 M1000S is not quite local for you, but it sure does look nice & has tasteful mods.  The mileage is a little high, but it wouldn't scare me if it has been serviced well.  If you don't find one for a long time and this one is still for sale, you might want to consider a road trip to NY when the weather warms up.

very nice looking and very very close to what i am looking for but 6500 is steep for that bike. If it had lower miles and no dents I would go 5500 to 6000 with no problem. I gre up in nY so Ieven would have a place to stay!!! I think the M1000s are the best monster EVER!!!

I agree the M1000s are awesome.  Keep your eye on this one.  It helps to have a few bikes in the back of your mind.  This bike's price may drop down some if it is still available in 6 months. 

I bought my 05 M1000s for $5,500 if my memory is correct.  I think it was originally listed around $6,500.  It has some wear on it but that is what expect from a used bike.  The trade off is it had some nice mods I was glad were already done.  Here's mine.

I had the same problem when I was shopping 3 years ago.  I got my license in november and it took until the end of april to find a deal I could live with.  Everything else was either a bike I didn't want, more miles than I wanted, or way more money than I wanted.

Some people confuse what something is worth, and what they value it at, I learned.
