No, but I'd trade it straight across for a well equipped, low miles DL650.

Sure I could sell my Monster if I was about to buy Kopfjager's bike.  Or any number of other Monsters that are a lot nicer than mine. |

I've bought and sold a few Monsters and will likely do that to a few more bikes before I croak. I've built a few and then sold them off as well. To answer the OP though: My *first* Ducati was my 1999 Monster 750 which I evolved (and am still doing so) into the Cafe-Racer. I've racked up over 30K miles on it and just love that bike. Pure and simple love. The answer is No. I could never sell that one. No matter what happened to it. They'll have to bury me with it. Seriously....  |

When it comes time for my Monster to go. I will likely give it to my mechanic. It has been my vision, but he did all the work, and I don't think anyone would appreciate it as much as he would.

I wouldn't let him know that. He may put a hit out on you.  |

Like 'Stew I've put too much of myself into my Monster to ever sell it. Maybe decree that it should be given a Viking funeral in the event of my death, or like a faithful servant of the Pharaoh, it should be buried with me. Or bequeathed to my son or daughter, depending on who can do a better lap time at Sears' Point  |

I just did  but I look at the Monster as a truly epic learning experience, I learnt a hell of a lot, I remember buying the bike and being nervous about bolting on simple Carbon fiber parts, now I don't think twice about Belt changes, removing a swingarm or doing a valve adjustment. And enjoyed every minute of it  Now I have owned a Monster, I will now keep my eye out for the next Monster project |

Sure. I'd like to find a good deal on a GSX-R750. I am also waiting on the FZ8 and BMW S600RR.
I don't have the emotional investment in my bike though. I haven't put the time and energy in my bike that many on the board have.
