Price??????

Er... may I take it out for a test drive?

Sorry abt that....the price is 9000chf......and testdrives cost extra

Any extras - aftermarket exhaust, etc ? Does it have the "windscreen" ?

When are you leaving ?

The bike has its windscreen and the backseat cover included........there are no other extras......I will be around only this week......so if ur really interested u shud act quickly

If you end up not being able to sell her and wish to donate, I can provide a good home for her.

Unfortunately I don't have any money, but I could offer some grammar, spelling lessons in exchange for the motorcycle.

PM me if interested, thanks.

WOW your bike is hot hot hot wish i could have it but not pratical with family goodluck with selling it

It's really depressing to recieve above answers with '' no money/exchange guys'' in the market place, why they dont just print out a picture from internet to stick on the wall by wasting seller's time of reading them?

first of all, please let me know whether you still have the bike, well, my boyfriend is going to move here from spain, therefore i want to buy this as a birthday gift for him, i have some questions:
1. why you dont want to take the bike with you? i dont see if you are moving from zurich to geneve to take the bike with you.
2. which year you bought it? hope all certificates are ready
3. what kind of accident / maintainance have been done?
4. how about the yearly tax and insurance? when is the expiry date?
5. i live in Zug, do i need to register this bike in my canton and would this cost hassle and extra geld?
6. how big is the capacity? 250cc or more?

I assume you're referring to me. My post wasn't serious. Instead of groaning at you, I'll try and help you a little bit.

The Ducati Monster 620 has a 618cc motor. You can find some basic specifications here.

I'm assuming that you'll have to register it in Zug if it's currently registered in another canton, though I'm not sure how much of a hassle it is, or how much it costs. Perhaps some other forum members can inform you on the subject.

Just curious, if you do buy a motorcycle for your boyfriend for his birthday, are you planning on it being a surprise?

I would hate if my bike bought me a wife as a surprise. Stuff like that I need to choose myself or I will be stuck here in the "for Sale" section trying to get rid of her (the bike not the wife)

What does your bike do for a job that can pay for you a wife lol thanks you gave me a giggle

Sorry mate, just don't have the funds at the moment and won't for another month or so.

Unless you're about to travel to Australia and I can pay you with my money there .

Going to have to chime in here as well..

If it's not a surprise then disregard the following

If it is, then there are a few things you might want to take into consideration.

It's pretty much a bike for those who've just passed their tests and don't want a larger capacity bike immediately. If he's a novice, then fine (for a year or two). If not, there's a good chance that this bike might feel underpowered compared to others out there. Of course, one might say that it's got enough power and more for the local speed limits, and this is quite true. Despite being a V-twin which gives it its torquey characterisitcs, it's got a huge power deficit compared to more modern sports bikes. It all hinges upon what kind of bikes he's ridden before.

Maintenance: Is he a tinkerer? Likes to service his own bikes? If so this might be a poor choice. The desmodromic valve system is a nightmare for those unfamiliar with it, moreover, a large array of specialised tools are necessary for even the most mundane maintenance tasks.
If he's not the mechanical type and lets the pros do the work then you should also be aware of the relatively high costs associated with Ducati maintenance. Regular services are pretty much a must, and with the aforementioned desmodromic system comes an increase in labour time. Timing belts should be replaced every 10000 km which also take a big bite out of your pocket. Neglecting basics such as this can have disastrous consequences.
Annual service charges will be in the region of CHF1200.

How tall is he? If he's over 185cm he may have difficulty. I'm 183cm and found it difficult to get comfortable, there being the small issue of my knees not fitting into the molded tank's sides.
The seat is fairly low and while this gives it a good balance and makes it an ideal town bike, especially with the wide handlebars, it might get tedious on longer trips. Having said that, it's very light so you can really chuck it into the corners. The pillion seat isn't up to much though, so you might think twice about joining him for that long Sunday ride.

It's a lovely gesture, buying your significant other a present like this, but I would have to advise asking him for his input first. The type of bikes he's used to will be the main deciding factor as to whether he's going to be over the moon or not.

I know plenty of people who ride, have ridden and even raced Ducatis and have owned three myself in the last 12 years (still got two of them), so please take this advice as it's intended...well meant
