Unusual Bike Desires...

[Gareth]

I've personally looked at Agustas, but the fact that there's no Scottish dealers and they are still more Italian than Ducati WRT build quality issues put me off.

This is what's putting me off too.

My 748 will be for sale very soon....

Guess I need to try both.
Preferably get something that I'm not going to outgrow too quickly.
Really like the MV Agusta Brutale too....

Gareth,

I think M&S in Newcastle are still MV dealers and they are a excellent bunch to deal with (they can also arrange for collection/delivery of servicing - although good excuse to hit the A7/A68/Coldstream come service time).

If you ask for Gary in Sales as he is a really decent chap and we have bought our Ducati's from him so feel free to mention my name. Put it this way - we got offered a £1000 more on a trade of Sandra's DRZ fora new Monster 696+ compared to Ducati Glasgow.

Clarky,

Maybe I am a little bias,but 748's rock,so surprised they are not fetching bigger money by now as they are a modern classic.

Don't thinkI could ever sell mine, even with using it for just 50-100 miles each year now (which is a complete shame for such a great bike).

What year is it? (Know its Pre 2001 by the side fairing).

George, thanks for info. Shame I am year too late for your Monster but it was probably on the small size....

if it wasn't for an impending new project I wouldn't be selling it but I need to free up the cash,

its a '98 on an R, 14k miles, stripped it last winter and refurbed the wheels, replaced a load of bits, got a new screen, oem levers and some other bits and bobs but it has to go

hopefully I can sell it to someone who will give me the option to buy it back when im ready!

I'm to blame for this rainy weather.
Every time I buy a open top and now a bike...it pisses with rain.
Typical.
