Not if it was between a 750 (carbed) and a 620.

Look for an older 900.


Also, the black bike pictured in this thread has been down, though the ad does not state it. There's rash on the muffler and that's why people get 'em repainted. Not that its a problem, think of it as a bargaining chip.

Any place to look besides craigslist? Also what else should I search? I just look up "Ducati" and put a price of 3000

use crazedlist to search multiple craigslist's at once.

Meanwhile, keep saving your pennies. If you can get up to $4,500 you can find yourself into a really great bike.

My mom offered to let me use our Jetski's as a bargaining chip. She want's $5000 for them. I'd just pay her back slowly. However I'd have to find someone willing to trade.

And you should be searching these additional cities:

Austin
San Antonio
Tyler
Waco
Lubbock
Houston
Fort Worth
Dallas
Texarkana
Little Rock
Texoma
Oklahoma City
Albuquerque

And I'd also be searching the following states (and cities therein):
Georgia
Tennessee
Alabama
Ohio
North/South Carolina
(These states have Ducati dealerships and good duc communities and are in "driving distance"...kinda)

Going to be a tough move in this economy and this time of the year.

Guy sounds like an idiot in his post. Not to mention the caps. Decent bike?

Multistrada 620 (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).  I came thiiiiiis close to buying one a few years back.   I like 'em.     I'd be kinda leery that he doesn't seem to know much about it...  and he claims to have bought it and then realized he didn't have a license?  I wonder if he has a title for it... 

I've had both 750 and 620 and in my opinion the 620 was better.  Try them both and pick what you like, not trying to steer you away from the 750 just offering my opinion.  Like CalsCrazy said some of "us" can't keep up with 695's.............or choose not to 

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet on buying a used Duc; make sure you get the RED key.

There was certain years that had a red key that is used incase the immobilizer gets activated or if you need to have a new key made.  It is very important to get that key (or the bike should be heavily discounted to help pay for the new ECU if you so need it)

I can't remember which years had the RED key...  (I think it stopped in '08)

All you Duc historians can chime in to fill in the pieces this Triumph rider missed...   

My 08. 695 has a red key.  It's fast enough.

wow, didn't realize this thread was going on...

rando, I own a 750 and love it, but I can tell you that a 620 feels a whole hell of a lot lighter when moving it around off-bike.  If you're looking at a carb 750 vs 620, it definitely feels different too, but not worse or better, just depends on what you're looking for. 

If you find a bike that needs a look-see in Houston, feel free to pm me, I'd be happy to go take a look for you.  [moto]

I'm not too far from Dallas, 7 hours and I'd meet you half-way.

2000  M750 (Dark) w/some suspension tweaks (749S forks, Ohlins rear shock) not much bling/bling - wasted the money on suspension stuff in lieu of carbon fiber.  I guess I've got a carbon fiber front screen and a rear tray, but neither is installed.

suspension ain't wasted money, mike!


that multi above is a 620 Dark - looks good and has arrow pipes. I think they are a lot of fun to ride. Ask Cleaven about his ride opinions of his Multistrada - he rides his every day.

I was trying to be a bit facetious, or something.
