The Appeal
These early Monsters really broke the mould when it came to Ducati motorcycles.
Mostly known for their high-performance sports bikes during the ‘70s & ‘80s, the Monster was a stripped-down sports bike utilising the 888-frame mated to a 900ss engine, with the idea being to create a sporty but more practical motorcycle for everyday riding.

This example comes from the second year of production and has been the subject of a complete rebuild.
These early models are now hard to come by, especially in this condition, and are beginning to see investment growth in the collectors market, but above all else, this bike is for riding .
Flat bars, rear set footrests, great brakes in a very well handling chassis and of course that big V twin engine all combine to make the Monster a fabulous real roads bike to enjoy.
One to take out on a dry summers evening and head for the twisty bits !
History & Paperwork
• V5c in the vendor’s name
• Mot to August ‘22
• Only 3,161 miles covered in the last 16 years
This Monster has been owned by the vendor since 2014 , but spent some time off the road during the restoration which was finished only 3 years ago.
The Exterior
• Frame stripped & professionally painted
• All paintwork & wheels professionally painted
• Engine cases, barrel & head vapour blasted
Looking good after much work has been carried out , with all paintwork in good condition.
Renthal bars have been fitted along with alloy adjustable levers and the vendor has added daytime running lights for a bit of extra security on todays busy roads.
Silencers are thought to be cut down originals & the vendor tells us they make a great sound !
Overall, there is a little room for improvement with some small detailing, but this Monster is for riding !
Mechanics
The vendor tells us that the Ducati was completely stripped to a bare frame before reassembly. New bearings were fitted to the headstock and swinging arm, new bushes & seals were fitted to the forks.
Chain and sprockets were replaced and new Bridgestone Battlax BT21 tyres were fitted.
The vendor tells us that engine was stripped for vapour blasting & then rebuilt with new big end shells although all looked in tip top condition, but whilst apart it’s good practice to replace at the time.
New gearbox layshaft bearings were also fitted and the engine was reassembled using new cam belts. All work being carried out by the vendor, an engineer who specialises in building performance motorcycle engines.
The Ducati sports an aftermarket clutch slave cylinder, replacing the troublesome original.
Summary
Well, it’s a Ducati and a nice one at that.
The owner informs us that it rides very well, the performance is certainly impressive and that it makes a fabulous all-rounder.
New paint & mechanical work will pay dividends helping to future proof your investment, but the most important point is that it’s ready to go for the summer and to enjoy to the full.
Well worth a punt for this piece of Italian mastery .

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
