DVLA-registered in 2016 with only two British owners
Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati, initially producing electrical components, but after the Second World War they moved into motorcycles and became famous for sporty small bikes, later branching into larger bikes with the 1971 GT750, featuring the first iteration of Fabio Taglioni’s famed bevel-drive V-twin. Produced from 1993 to 2001, the Monster 600 found great popularity as an affordable big bike, and gave many enthusiasts their first taste of the Ducati marque. It originated in 1992 as a styling exercise by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, and it took time to convince the management to build it, but it ended up becoming known as the bike that saved Ducati due to its popularity and cheap development costs, with over 300, 000 produced. With its 583cc, 54bhp V-twin and five-speed gearbox, it was a lively performer and said to be good for 116mph.
This 2000 Monster 600 was imported and registered with the DVLA in 2016 and was retained by its first British keeper until 2020, when it passed to our vendor. Seldom used since 2016, the odometer reading remains at under 34, 000km (21, 000 miles). It was in regular but sparing use and used by our vendor until the end of last year, in which time it has been in storage and being started from time to time. Nevertheless, the vendor advises that it has been started from time to time and runs well, though we advise bidders to undertake their own checks before venturing onto the road. The current V5C is supplied.
