things to look for on a 02 monster 620?

a friend of mine asked me if i would go and look at 2 with him and maybe ride 1 home cos his test is soon and he wants to spur himself on a bit, these are the ones he is currently looking at

For what its worth, I would have the 2nd one. Relatively unbutchered/unmodified but most importantly has cans. Thats at least £500+.

For what it's worth, I'd have the first one, as the second one has already been written off once!

not much between them really....av em both.

Whichever one has the best/most complete service history.

Having said that, i personally wouldn't buy any Ducati without a FSH. Even then i would probably budget a bit extra for gremlins.

Its worth noting that the second one seems to have been stood for a while(thats never good) and it has low miles for the year, so probably has spent lots of time off the road. The seller also said he might include the cans/tyes in the deal, so don't assume they come with the bike.

For what it's worth, tell your mate to have a bit of money put aside for when things play up, trust me, they will!


Second one looks better out of the two, but the fact that it's a write-off would either put me off completely, or mean I would do some serious hagglling

goin to look at the first one tommorow, the seller of the second one says it was a cat c but he will sell the cans if the bike dont go for £300 to my mate as they spoke earlyer !! deal or what

Only a single front disc on bike no 1...............no 2 has twin discs.............isn't that a bit odd? And only having one disc would make braking slightly interesting you'd think

Plus, they've both had quite a few previous owners.

didnt notice lissa, bit odd :/

he got the top one for £2k, im picking it up tomoz for him so i get to play oh and after some research that model only came with one disk
