Back in the mid-70's this was as absolutely cool as it got. Hooked from the first write up

my test ride went something like this: took the monster out to some twisty roads about 10 mins from dealer.. first corner, off the gas, fall into turn, "hmm this thing leans over very easily, nice!" gently back on gas and come out of corner. 2nd corner same thing, but get on the throttle out of the corner. Thats what did it for me. I bought a monster not even 30 mins after the test ride. To this very day, every Ducati I tried has that vtwin torque that accelerates you out of corners in such a satisfying way..

I saw my first Duc back in the early 70's when a friend bought a 450 single (yellow, pretty bike). He eventually totaled it, but I knew Ducati existed. I eventually owned some Hondas and a Yamaha over the next 20 years. I saw a photo of a '93 Monster when they came out and lusted for one ever since. I was still riding my '83 Nighthawk when a friend decided to sell his '97 M900 (he was buying a 916 and didn't want 4 bikes). I picked up the bike in Ithaca, NY in September of '02 and rode it 250 miles back to Long Island. I was hooked immediately.
I still have that '97 and also an '01 M900.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

There are many reasons that got me to the dealer. They look great, they get respect from just about all riders and non riders and yes chicks dig them. What made me buy one was on that first test drive thinking to myself "this is it, this is my make the beast with two backsing bike!" You know you have to have it if you can't stop smiling when your riding. [moto]

V-Twin, light weight, Monsters look classic, but without the hassles of an older bike.
