So conversation is happening now.
I have told perspective buyer it's his for that money and to let me know when he wants to pick it up.
Of course we'll go to the bank he can either give me a fist full of $$$ or a money transfer and cooling off period.

Yes Betty it could equal a 2V Monster and track bike but I think I may have already lined up another ride if it sells.
It's not a 2V but it is a very very well set up Monster of the 4V variety.
Let's now see what happens.

Just think of the Honda Goldwing you could buy for the money 

Suzy - I'm starting to get a bit worried about you - first, you are going riding with BMWs, now you're suggesting Matty buy an     Oldwing . 

Next you'll be fabricating Zimmer frames (go fast ones hopefully) 

Matty, do I know the bike you are talking about?

Nup never been seen here.

I'd also sell, everything is for sale especially when the money is right !

maybe its my cynicism, however if there is a deposit on the table with in a couple of days, i generally think they are full of BS

Geeze Matty, I'm trying to flog the ST and here you are in a very nice position to do a deal. but I'm a wee bit envious of your situation.

But to answer your question, I would but..... only if I think I have been offered more than what I think its worth, which is usually more than what its really worth.

Good luck with your decission Matty

Yeah it's funny hey Mmick, when you are trying to sell you get tyre kickers galore
and when you are just out on your usual business you get an offer out of left field.

The guy has been on the phone a few times this afternoon and now wants to come for another look tomorrow afternoon.
It's now getting more interesting as he is looking more serious!

Remember Matty, Looking is fine but  riding is only fine once he shows you the Money !!

Exactly, I'm also thinking I'll view with Vince in tow gives me some muscle just in case!

I used to get offers to buy an HQ I was driving that I had restored. 

ah a girl after my own heart!  I am currently cruising around in a totally original unrestored HQ Prem (needs a repaint badly) and yet I am people offering me money for it.  I have promised it to my young daughter - so no amount of money is going to make me sell it.

This comes to my next point - I too have put ridiculous figures on the HQ to dissuade people from buying it - at the end of the day it is something that I have an emotional attachment to.  I have sold too many vehicles for all the wrong reasons - money, pissed off with it, troubles (both mechanical and  ).  I have only just realised that I have been putting myself through a vicious circle of buying vehicles to substitute for the ones I have sold.  I should never of sold my first Ducati - a 500 Pantah.  I replaced it with a 650, sold that, and replaced it with my Monster S2R1000.  I have made the promise to myself that I am not selling it (bar some dire and I mean DIRE situation).

I guess what I am saying Matty is that you are probably like the rest of us - we ride a Ducati for a reason.  It makes me feel cool, special, and blows my cares away when I am on it.  I am passionate about Ducatis and owning one completes that bike rider part of me.  I love this Monster as it is my first, and I (after a misspent youth of buying/selling vehicles) now understand that there is an emotional attachment that no money can substitute.  Sure your getting excellent money for your bike, but make sure your not leaving a gap or regrets when you see it leave.  No amount of $$$ can replace that.

That is just my 2 cents! 

Good point Matty !!! Hows the emotional rollercoaster going ? 

Does that mean your not coming riding on sunday ? cause you wont even have a bike !
