Might buy an 06 620 Monster. HELP.

06 Monster 620 for sale. No damage. One owner. 5k miles. Last serviced las summer because he had no time to ride this summer. Asking $4500.
Is there anything in particular I should know about this year/make/model? Any quirks? Any big maintenance that should've been done? Should I talk him down or is that a fair price? NADA has it at $4k.
Any info would be great. Thanks.

last summer as of 2013 or 2012? Anyways, ask for records, if tires are OEM, replace, belts should have been replaced at least every 2 years, check fork seals, brake/clutch fluids need replacing every 2 years . . . if a Dark model, make sure that reservoir lids are in good condition . ..

i would play close attention to the tank (pretty sure '06 was plastic) and ensure no swelling has happened, since it sounds like it sat for a year.

What part of the country?
Indoors or out?
Seems a bit high to me, and modifications, exhaust, etc....

Bike appears clean, and well cared for other than the spill which is evident in the exhaust scrapes and Blue Book is around the asking price. Being he's the original owner he may have sentimental feelings towards selling it and may not be too keen on low balling.
All considered, if you really like it, $3,800-$4,100
(If it were me, I'd wait around for an "05" with a metal tank........which I did. I payed 4k)

So, it's got a tail chop, shorty adj levers, bar end mirrors, aftermarket grips, all good.
Find out if the last service done was the 6k, if not find out how much it's going to cost and deduct that from the sale price. If the tank is plastic ask if it was replaced. If it was replaced ask if it was coated. Just so you know. If it has not been replaced, see if the mounts are resting on the frame and see how close the latch is to the ignition switch. If either looks off, have him agree to get the tank replaced or at least try.
Otherwise looks like a good buy.

Does ducati replace them for free as part of a recall or something?

He means 6000 mile service. The dealer will look at the tank and determine if it's swollen. if it is, they will try replace the mounts to push the tank away from the ignition. If it's really warped, they will replace the tank. At that point the recommendation is to coat the tank to avoid further swelling.

Is that a "free of charge" service since its a design flaw or something? Is the plastic tank immensely worse than a metal tank?

A 6k service is definitely NOT free.
There's no real difference in the tanks, just look for the signs of expansion.
