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!

Re: things to look for on a 02 monster 620?
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 |

Re: things to look for on a 02 monster 620?
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.
