Ducati Monster Forum

just wathed  on ebay an s4r with tessaresta engine with 15000 on the clock and a heap of carbon just sell for  $10,500

Id be surprised if the seller lets it go for that but then he/she might be desperate to sell.

yep it went for that it met his reserve just found another one im going to look at for 7500 with 35k on the clock

Wouldn't say they have gone out of flavour or there would be heaps on bike sales :P

There are always going to be bargains just when your not ready or the timing is not right time to buy :'( (murphys law )

 12 months ago Miska paid 12k for an 08 S4R Tessta with 12000klm Termi slipons one old fart owner, all the original gear paddock stand bagster tank cover etc etc. ;)

Depending on the year $10500 not an unrealistic price these days, if you wait till something comes along.

I think I have to kind of agree with you Bazz
Apart from the addicted   [roll]  here and on other Ducati sites , there is just so much to offer in the market place today
 Paying a premium price compared to other brands must be making an effect not to mention the ripple effect
that MotoGP must be making on tarnishing the brand. :-[
To be brutely honest Ducati is continually being seen with its pants down in the paddock . [bang]

But I have to admit looking out at my S2R from behind in the carpark at work yesterday I couldn't keep my eyes off it.

Your priorities are bit out of wack Dez

dont get me wrong i love the ducs ive had one of some sort my adult life but ive never seen so many for sale mainly the newer model atm theres is 184 monster for sale on bike point alone  the only model that seems to holding its value is the s2r

 ;D [beer]

Corrected for you Bazz:

thanks mark for the reminder  [bang]

After looking at the new MV Augusta brutle 800
I think ducati have lost the way. The MV has it
All over the monster and I think street fighter
Against the s2 or s4 would be a close contest. Thinking
Of moving to MV

go and wash your mouth with brake fluid ,talking like that on here , but your right about the mew monsters they dont do any thing for me either but im just an old fossil   [thumbsup]

 Been looking at Bike sales on a regular basis over the past 4 years , the number of Ducati's for sale dosen't change much, if anything thing there are 758 Ducati's  for sale now, and that would be about the lowest number i have seen for ages, usualy gets to the mid 850 bikes for sale.
May be that you are looking you seem to notice more, like when you buy a certain car every one appears to have one?

Not counting the current model Monsters, there arn't many old style Monsters for sale imo?
Your right about the S2R 1000 ,Used to be a lot of near new ones for sale 3 years ago, very slim pickings these days only 4 on bikesales people are hanging on to them.last of the Best Monsters imo :P
S4RS and S4r are selling ok i know of 6 that have sold this year for reasonable prices ;)

I think the economy is still very slow as well which wont help the dealers. plus if you could call Ducati's exotic they are always harder to sell, to your average  jap bike rider /Holden Ford driver [roll], you just can't sell class  :D

thats right , you can only give it away ;)

back to the topic

ebay is a great place to sell a shit bike for a lot of money
and a shit place to sell a great bike for good money


if you want a great bike for cheap if you hang around ebay long enough you will find it 
and you should have bought it

i might have to lower my standards and get one with a fridge, j5 your summary of fleabay is spot on but i couldnt beleave  how low the reserve was

Im thinking that interest in monsters may revive once the new super monster comes out.

itll be a copy of the street fighter with a monster tank or some space age looking piece of crap that dose 600 mph  [bang] im must be getting old  [laugh]

Bring it on ! [drool]

well if thats it i was right  [bang]

What don't you want to go warp 6 down to the coffee house.  ;D

As long they keep the price respectable

shit life is going to quick now but i suppose they want to capture the yuppy market and all the croch rocket brigade 

Well I hope it doesn't have too many sharp angles all these vehicles have sharp lines on them now.

Point is though if it revives interest in Monsters in general that should make our old bikes more interesting. They aren't making any more of them.

i agree i would love to see the monster back in vogue  [bow_down] nice abs by the way

You do any diving?

My Monster isn't out of favour.

With me  ;D.

I couldn't give a fat rat's arse what fad the rest of motorcylcing humanity is on  [cheeky]

Its a pretty nice looking machine. If I spent that much money on mine i might be looking for a new wife. Oh wait. Rule #4 "No new wives"

Thanks Mendo Dave.

Forgiveness may be reluctantly granted... but the odds are still better than waiting for permission  ;D.

well said ung


work on the water and played under it

that is sick, nasty and perverted.....that thing still has a stock exhaust!

thats the way they should be

If they meant to be left stock mate they wouldn't have put those giant cows udders on them!

I think that lovely well endowed lady may take aversion too you referring to her udders like that spider  [laugh]

????there's a bike there????
