Just bought a 2003 Monster 1000Sie with 2500 miles on BringATrailer,
http://bringatrailer.com/listing/2003-ducati-monster-1000-s-i-e/. Supposed to be delivered tomorrow just in time for spring.I haven't owned a Ducati since the 60's when I had a 250 Scrambler. I have always admired the naked Ducatis and always wanted to own one.
I have lots of bikes, but don't ride that much anymore (old age and bad eyes) other than trying to get them out in the neighborhood every once in a while to keep them going. But love them as art. Vincents: '52 Black Shadow, 55 Black Prince, 49 Grey Flash (tribute); Patrick Gödet Egli Vincent; Indians: 39 Sports Scout, 39 Chief, 48 Chiefs (2), 47 Arrow, "Indian Uprising" Board Track Racer; BMWs: 63 R27, 64 R50 with Steib, 65 R69S; Harleys: 1909 Single; 48 74, 47 Hummer; 59 Panhead "Captain America"; Honda 04 Rune; Exile: "Pure Sex Dragster" from Discovery Channel Biker's Build-off, Trike from same. Look forward to learning more about the Monster here.
