Hello from NYC

[memper]

Hey all, glad to be part of this forum and I'm glad to be a new Ducati owner. Just bought up a mint '99 M dark 750. Super excited to pick it up (end of this month). So when that happens you'll hear from me quite often-I am not shy with the questions.

Welcome,

So now for the older monster speech
Buying an older bike, especially a duc there's some stuff to check on.
The Cam belts are a two year/12k miles service life item. If you don't know how old the belts are think hard about replacing them. Broken belt is bad times.
Valves should have been checked at 6k intervals - any notion of that was done?
Fluids should be replaced. This is oils (fork included) and hydraulics.
Any notion of how old the tires are? Most manufacturers recommend a service life of about 5 years on moto tires. They do get stiff over time and loose their grip and ability to flex.
Some techron in the gas tank wouldn't hurt anything either. And depending on things maybe a carb service
