sorry it's not a monster. I was looking for a monster and found this one.
it's from ducati dealer so I guess I shouldn't worry about current condition.
is this good price?

only down side is that, it is race bike. so I have to wear proper gears all the time.
If I ride it with regular clothes, I would look like a douschebag

(when I was riding my monster, I used to wear jeans with shirt and no helmet lol)

Not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at but you should wear some gear no matter what you ride.

whether i am on the GFs monster 696 or my 848 i always wear my helmet, jacket, gloves, sketchers (steel toe boots) and am looking for a good pair of riding pants that fit well.
proper gear is important no matter what you ride.  [moto]
it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

masterh,   you had to know with the gear focus of most folks here and people's need to tell you you're doing something wrong, that this post would do nothing but turn into a giant scolding about gear.


What would help is any actual info about the bike in question so people could give some input as to it's cost.  the cost would help too.  ;D

And I wouldn't assume anything about its condition simply because it's being sold at a dealer.

Especially on an invisible 998

i woudlnt buy it if it was a race bike. you dont know how hard the motors been kicked around.

or do you mean its a motorcycle that just so happens to be a 998? Wear wahtever you want man.

Im not a ATGATT kinda guy and if you think being on a ducati SBK makes you a douche bag if you dont wear the gear then i dont know what to tell you, you have an image problem.

Ill wear proper gear (if i feel like it) if im on a vespa or a 1198R.

I think there might be a language issue here.

thanks for the concerns.

do you think it's a good deal? it could be a track bike because I know they go to ducati race event.
I don't think they will sell the crap bike as a ducati dealer though.
