So, I was out last year with a buddy riding (on his second bike before he sold it: 2012 GSX-R 750) and really caught the bug again. I used to ride about 15 years ago (I am 37 now) and mainly rode 600cc-750cc sport bikes. Was looking at getting a Harley (I know, I know) so the wife could ride 2-up with me and be a bit more comfortable. I just don't like the look of most of the Harleys out there, so I started looking at sport bikes a bit more.
THEN THE DUCATI MONSTER 796 POPPED UP ON MY SCREEN!!!
Wow, is this bike super sexy and muscular. I have been looking at a few different Monsters, from a S2R to the 696, 796 and 821. I really like the 796 with the single sided swing-arm and red trellis frame.
Are there any things that I should know when looking for a used 2010-2014 Monster 796? I figured finding a bike with service records would be a plus, but most dealerships don't list as having them (lots of dedicated owners offer up the service records though). Should I make sure the belts have been changed before buying or is it really not that expensive to have the dealership do following a purchase?
Been lurking on the forum few a week now and you all have great looking bikes.
Thanks for the responses in advance.
