Absolutely love the original monsters! I've got the very first, 1993 model. Had the 750 version for 16 years, but always wanted the very first 900, and finally found a decent one 5 years ago. I've owned two 748Rs, a 998FE, Mv Agusta F4, and F3800RC, etc etc, but nothing puts a smile on my face like the Monster. It gets so much positive attention, and people can't believe it's almost 30 years old! Its a timeless design, and they're so reliable and cheap to run, unlike the Italian super bikes, which are money pits. You need to get some open cans on yours though man. I've got carbon Ducati Performance on mine, and they turn the cute little Monster into a savage beast :)

[@ranranpoopants]

Are 1997 monsters cheap and reliable?

[@mrdainase]

@@ranranpoopants Absolutely, my M750 was excellent. It had one minor intermittent fault with the brake lever microswitch which cost all of £3 to fix. Servicing is ridiculously easy - cambelt and fluids change took me all of a morning including tea breaks and chatting with a mate who popped round to be my sanity checker. I also had a pair of SBK cans which took about 15 mins to swap from the standard units and made it sound awesome.

I love that you keep her stock ❤

[@bullpencycles]

Well yeah. I figure that I am not smarter than the people who built this

[@PhilippNau]

​@@bullpencycles You are cool 👍

[@lukehanley5392]

Ducati Industrial Designers have wrecked the Monster. The minimalist, functional design of the 2003 800 Monster is why I bought it. Royal Enfield is onto something.

[@bullpencycles]

We'll yeah, I'm not sure the Italians can often do minimalist

I own a 1993 Monster M900 and absolutely love it. I have the termi exhausts but have the originals for it too and mine has had the clock conversion so has the analogue rev counter too from road racing LTD. Also have the Corbin seat too like yours. Love the original monster. Still rides and sounds amazing! 😎 The only true Ducati monster

[@bullpencycles]

@@jfoz7602 I sorta wished I kept that one!

[@Ali-e5h1b]

I got a 2003 version last year. It looks 90% like yours. I still need to get some missing fairings and do the timing. Great looking bike.

[@adamroper1197]

Awesome bike

Piękny motocykl, gratuluję jako szczęśliwy posiadacz dwóch motocykli Honda.pozdrawiam👍🇵🇱

[@bullpencycles]

Thank you. Greetings from USA!

[@miguelmatos9508]

Yes indeed!

[@AE-hi9uj]

Glad to know Ron Jeremy is into Ducati(s).

[@bullpencycles]

This was funny the first couple of times. Now its just old.

[@francescorizzo8119]

Complimenti tenuta benissimo

[@bullpencycles]

Thank you

[@derzkoeradio]

Hi! is it s4Rs 2007 is the second gen? And the best too?

[@bullpencycles]

Yes 2nd gen, and desirable but also alot more complicated with 4 valves per cylinder, fuel injection, liquid cooling, all the stuff a modern bike would have. Does your S4RS have single sided swing arm? A very different bike from this, makes mine almost quaint.

[@Motoreger]

Sounds like a bucket full of screws! And not only the clutch! I'm used to Japanese, especially Honda. Imagine listening to this rumble, continuously, for several hours on a longer journey!

[@bullpencycles]

Yeah, the bucket of screws only when the clutch is engaged or in neutral, but the rumble might not suit touring. Its a street fighter

[@HyperSpaz]

The pooch thinks the Ducati belongs to them 😂

[@bullpencycles]

Yes she does. She bites them all!

[@billwhite8479]

And why are you riding without gear..?

[@elarr8733]

What's with the two extra periods tucked in before every question mark?

[@billwhite8479]

@@elarr8733 hardly as important as saving your own skin and bone is it.?

I like... periods......😂😂😂

Wouldn't you know that it's a no U turn right outside your own house..?

[@bullpencycles]

Actually the shop is not my house although some might say so.

[@silviofontana5144]

sounds noisy, internally

[@bullpencycles]

Yup, Dry clutch, not a wet clutch. They sound that way. It's a thing.

[@rangerwillie5396]

The most horrible sounding engine. It's worse than a Chinese lawn mower without motor oil.

[@bullpencycles]

That's not the engine that you hear. It has a dry clutch. That's what a dry clutch sounds like, but it's an acquired taste.

[@Tequilasaur]

Monsters with a wet clutch (800 i.e., for example) sounds as any normal V-Twin. But a lot of people want dry clutch (dunno why, never tried it)

[@tommsorg]

@@Tequilasaur Just for the sound.. But I prefer the wet one because of an easier use for a everyday ride

[@Southern21076]

Honda vtr looks better:-)
