personally I would go with the 749 model

749's are considered by many to be better than the 999

749 dark........its were its at.
and i know a person who owns a ducati dealership place and also has owned and sold lots of kawasakis, yamahas, moto guzzi, mv augusta, aprilia, suzuki, buell, pretty much anything u think of hes owned or driven one and hes said that the ducatis rank high up on his list, just under mv augusta and moto guzzi.

whitecastle, that last link was to a supersport not a monster, monsters are more of the pure exposed muscle no flash machines. thats why i like them and probably why the threadstarter likes them

ducati's are nice bikes. the throttle is very hard to get used to. but once you do, those bikes sound nice, and haul ***.

Getting a ducatti will be like buying a base civic and having more maintnence. If this is your first bike, i suggest something cheapr

Well first of all the monster 620 ie is one of the best motorcycles to learn on. Smooth Throttle response, because of the v twin design, good brakes, and surpreme handleing. down sides are every 2000 miles of so you need to have the vavles adjusted. go to the dealer once and watch him perform the procedure. then on do it your self if you have a nac for these things. the 620 monsters are cheap! your first bike is going to be used and there are a vast amount of 620, 750, and 900s out there.


i personaly have a 748, and idk what sweet is talking about with his throttle problems. but i have never experienced problems. good luck! try ebay and NON ducati dealers. ducati dealers tend to hike the price.

my friend has a ducati monster. sounds mean. my bikes sounds like a screaming bitch. at least my screaming bitch bike walks away from him on the track or canyon

he sold it, cause cost of maintance was too high. it was an older monster

so now he gets an 04 Aprillia Mille R Factory, $24k
