Hi everyone.

This is my first post. I am GK, koko64's brother.

I've caught the Ducati Monster bug and have been on the hunt for one.

I've been riding a VFR 800FI since buying it brand new as a runout in Feb 2002. Unfortunately it's simply too tall for a short bloke such as myself, and the enjoyment in riding it has waned somewhat.

I went for a ride with my brother 3 weeks ago, we switched bikes and after 5 minutes I had decided. The immaculate VFR must be sold to finance a Ducati Monster. What? Sell an immaculate bike to buy one that's got more km's and is older? Yep, that's the plan!

I've looked at 4, the latest being tonight, but they're either too rough, need too much work or too dear. I'm waiting for a good one to come along at the right price. Just hope I don't go the Summer without one! 

So when I get one, I'll let you know and post some pics.

Cheers,

GK

Welcome!  I'm sure you'll find one and I think you'll quite like the added character of the twin cylinder engine as well 

Cheers! I'm sure you're right.

I've had inline 4s, vertical twins, singles and a v4, but am really looking forward to the Vtwin, or I guess I should say L twin!

Here she is!

She's a 2001 M900S i.e.

Hopefully she'll be in my hands in a week or so. She's at my mate's place in Tugun and will start the journey south to Melbourne next week.

Then a few new tyres, RWC and visit to Vic Roads and all will be sweet for a nice Summer season of riding.
