1994 Ducati 600cc Monster

Frame no. ZDM600W001579
Engine no. ZDM600A20002909

While its large-capacity sports models were grabbing the headlines by dominating the World Superbike Championship, it was the relatively humble Monster that was Ducati's real success story, selling worldwide by the container-load and thus ensuring the company's survival. It remains a cornerstone of the Ducati line up to this day.

This carburettor-model 600 Monster has belonged to the current vendor since September 2020. Extras/upgrades fitted include the twin-disc front end; fly screen; braced handlebar; belly pan; rear indicators; front daytime light; carbon silencers; front mudguard; and mirrors. The all-important valve shims adjustment was last carried out at 24,338 miles and the cam belt changed at 25,118 miles (August 2021). The current recorded mileage is 25,616. A service was carried out and the engine tuned in March 2022, which included fresh (Ducati approved) oil and oil filter, and a new rear tyre. The previous owner fitted a new chain/sprocket and new front tyre. Only being sold because of old age and health issues, and the fact that the vendor is reducing the size of his collection, the Ducati comes with a history file containing a list of fitted extras; hand-written service records; starting instructions; V5C document; old MoTs; copy of previous V5C and various invoices. The machine is ready to ride and has a MoT valid until August 2023.
