I rarely get time to ride my bike with my work schedule and would like to pass the pleasure of owning a Ducati Monster on to the next enthusiast. This bike's iconic looks draw a lot of compliments when you're at stop lights, the gas pump, the store, well pretty much anywhere you stop! I have found this bike to be an excellent beginner or intermediate bike for getting around town. It is extremely easy to ride. I recently had Transportation Revolution (certified Ducati Dealer) in New Orleans put new tires, chain, battery, and oil change within the past year (and about 600 highway miles ago) so they are in great shape.
