2002 Ducati Monster 620ie
Summary:
Lot's of character. Too stiff suspension though
Faults:
Nothing. Didn't have it for that long though. 1 year and about 8k klm. Got scared by Ducati reputation and traded in for GSX 1400.
General Comments:
Bought it brand new after a Suzuki Bandit 400 (Japanese import) I had.
Bike was a little stiff, as I recall, resulting in an almost-spill I had with the wife on back... Not enough feel and info passed to the rider, especially the USD fork.
Not that friendly for everyday due to stiff suspension. GSX 1400 I bought after was amazingly more easier to ride.
Lots of character though!
Awesome sound!
Great looks!
Come to think of it, it was not a bad bike. Just not ideal for a novice.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Don't Know
