Sorry for the ridiculously long URL, but I couldn't find how to name a hyperlink.  If it doesn't show - I think I spotted a relatively new auction for the famous Bobber.

I liked the embedded video in the auction from La Ducati Days with Stu and BP... not one mention of the celebrities in the auction either, go figure.

I really loved that bike, but here are a couple things I find interesting about the auction

Quote1999 Ducati Monster frame w/serious tail-chop and the neck raked out to 36'.
1998 Ducati Monster 900 engine (est. 60 hp)

36 foot rake?! [laugh]

Why is the 900 only putting out 60hp?
2005 S2R800
2006 S2R1000
2015 Monster 821

I was under the impression that the pre-FI 900's only put out around 60hp. I went to snoop around... but I'm really tired. :)

AFAIK, it's a W-head 900, lots of low-end grunt, not so much on top.

I've ridden the bike, it's got plenty of power.

Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

That is such a unique monster. Hope it goes to teh right owner  ;D
About the same time you're dragging your knees through a series of tight left-right-handers on Sunday afternoon, some guy in white shoes is sweating a 3-foot putt. Go figure.

This is the 2nd or 3rd time this has come up in as many months.

It doesn't seem the price is right yet... maybe this time?

It's only worth what someone is willing to pay. That bike needs a certain buyer. Maybe that buyer just isn't looking in the right places yet.

BTW, why is he selling?

my 94 m900 put out 64 hp on a dynojet, and it was running so rich from the 175 main jet from they stage 2 jet kit that it was cutting out at 7500.  so i think its prolly got more than 60 hp.

When I spoke with Stu at BP's wedding, he explained that this particular 900 had been detuned. I seem to recall him mentioning it was only 60 or so hp.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.
