Title: Monster Diesel Limited Edition Numbers? Post by: W.A.R on April 09, 2014, 01:35:19 PM I've just joined and I'm picking up my Ducati Monster Diesel this weekend.
Its number 539. Does anyone else have one and what Number do they have? I'm trying to figure out how many where produced worldwide...or at least in South Africa. I'm so excited! Dream Bike coming to my garage [drool] Title: Re: Monster Diesel Limited Edition Numbers? Post by: shamoo on April 09, 2014, 01:55:49 PM Good question, I always wanted to know. I have never seen one outside of pictures.
I did pick up a "Diesel edition" AGV helmet for my girlfriend. It's the same color.

I thought I'd missed my chance in 2013 when the Diesel came and went. Then someone let this one go with Tail Tidy, Carbon Radiator cover and small indicators already done. The only thing left for me to do is change the Levers to Black ones (not sure why they went with silver) The rest of the bike is perfect in my eyes. I mean, it's the only monster that has matching shock with brake calipers! [clap] It only has 3000km so it's basically been ridden in and has had it's first service. Also, the Limited Number on the bike the previous owner never got it it 'Named' So I can still send in to Ducati (apparently) and they would send me one with my Name/Saying/etc along with the number 539. So far I've found out that no more than 10 came to South Africa and it's probably closer to only 7 one Ducati dealer told me. I've found one on the net in the US Numbered 530....so I'm wondering if we got 531...up or was it all random? was there +-600 made? I'm very excited to get a Limited Edition bike as well as the last of the air cooled Monsters 1100 I bought myself a Shark Legion S700 Green Helmet....fits perfectly with the bike I think. Didn't even know they had a Diesel Helmet, but I wanted to go with the whole military vibe/look. Title: Re: Monster Diesel Limited Edition Numbers?

Post by: geoffduc on April 13, 2014, 01:22:39 AM Over here in the UK I personally have not seen many Diesel monsters, as far as I know the two stores that I deliver for have only sold one at each location and monsters are one of the most popular models, sorry for not being much help... :-[
Geoff... [coffee] BTW the new 1200S monsters are selling well... [thumbsup] Title: Re: Monster Diesel Limited Edition Numbers?

[clap] [laugh] [clap] Welcome to DMF Title: Re: Monster Diesel Limited Edition Numbers? Post by: W.A.R on April 13, 2014, 12:29:14 PM Yup...so far the 700's are the highest I've found. Somehow I don't think there was up to a 1000 sold worldwide...my search continues!
