Looks like you'd need a carbon fiber codpiece to ride it.  The angle on that seat is pretty steep, especially with some hard braking.  ouch

Hard to believe the Monsters are that customizable, all you see are frame, engine, wheels, and tank.  neato!

looks step because is on the rear stand, isnt more readical than a Sport1000...



Bryant isnt a monster is a Radical Ducati made in Spain frame is handmade as everything else exept the motor...

Yeap until you ride one then you just want to park it and walk away....  [bang]


ps: is this bike in San Antonio?

The bike was listed this week on the Mike Hailwood forum. Several MH's for sale from 9.5k up. This one is located in Georgia. The collector has another MH in RED/Silver plus he has a nice Laverda 750, a nice MV Senna, HD and a Husky dirt bike. Nice collection of toys on his Flickr account.

So what's the prob with riding the MH? Is it the position? This has setbacks so I thought it might be at least a little more accomodating to the rider. I liked the color scheme.

That can't be right

+ a million

True, yes it is young Luke, mmm yes.

I was a little surprised to see the prices on them from the collectors who tell their stories about how much money they had to put down in advance and what they've done with them. Most have set them up in the living room. It's all on the MH forum site! I had thought they were 30k+

i think they sold  for 15k in 2000 over the internet, as far as riding, they are too freakin tall if you are shorter than 5,9 you are in trouble... im not kidding, you think the sportclassics are tall? try a MHe... [popcorn]

They had/have electrical gremlins.... and the fuelling needs a lot of work to run perfect as far as i remember, Mechanics hate them all over the world... [laugh] Was  a great looking bike but if you can live with the  rediculous riding position and hight i would find a wrecked Monster 1000 or Sportclassick or Multistrada and ill transplant the motor and electrics into the MHe... That would be some extra money but i think it will make the bike better...

I found 4 MH900e for sale on cycletrader. They are all going for around $13k-14k, and that is without the carbon bodywork. And we all know how expensive that is!

$10.5k seems alarmingly cheap to me.

Actually, I think the 10.5k price must be BS. Where is it for sale? Isn't this the one that AMS had for $17.5k?

yeah, I think you can find them between 10.5 and 14K, but with the carbon bodywork it sounds suspicious.....

Never liked the Terreblanche "Hailwoods", I think they are an insult to my real '82 Hailwood Replica. Never understood why Ducati did that in 2000... guess they were just playing with internet sales and it gave Terreblanche something to do. :P
