New Ducati owner here from Vancouver, Wa. I bought my first Ducati- a 2001 Monster 600 Dark. It's a bit better than a rat bike and while it's difficult to start, it does run great once it's started. I'll have lot's of questions I'm sure as I put some time and effort into cleaning it up. I bought it for my daily commuter and in-town hooligan bike. I've owned a Kawasaki Z750s, a KL600, a Ninja 250, and currently own a bright yellow VFR and a Husqvarna TE610.

Welcome Bar. I just bought an 01 600 dark myself.
