    2001 Ducati Monster S4

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!


    Unfortunately real life forces me to sell this beauty. Can't play pretend any more and think that I'll be able to carry everything that I need for work in a backpack

    2001 Ducati Monster S4 with Senna paint scheme - Grey parts/frame, bright red Marchesini 5-spoke wheels

    Located in either Solana Beach or near LAX in Los Angeles (currently moving back down to SD).

    Asking $6,500

    Link to picture album - http://imgur.com/a/0aFXX#0

    Purchased with 14k miles and now creeping up towards 18k. Used to commute to college and work - both rides < 4 miles each way.

    The Goodies:
    Comes with EBC front brake pad set (uninstalled and waiting for the fronts to wear out, $90 for the set)
    916cc Desmodromic L-type twin cyclinder engine making ~105HP, 92 lbs torque stock, bit more with the add-ons. Power comes on very strong and very low in the powerband
    CycleCat Triple tree with CycleCat adjustable clip-ons
    Speedymoto water pump
    Speedymoto frame sliders
    Bar end mirrors
    CRG Roll-A-Click Levers
    Leo Vince Carbon Fiber High-Mounted Dual Exhaust - loud, combined with the Ducati clutch clank this bike will definitely get someone's attention in a hurry!
    Chopped Tail
    LED Turn Signals Front & Rear
    Oil change done @ 17,250 miles
    Adjustable front and rear suspension - rebound, compression, and preload all adjustable
    Since these pictures were taken I added Bellissi Moto tank grip pads. Keeps you from slamming your junk into the gas tank under hard decel. Very much worth the $50!

    The Baddies:
    Small dent in the right-hand side of the gas tank (the infamous Monster dent) when the previous owner dropped the bike while he was rolling it out of his apartment right before I was about to buy it...
    Low fuel indicator light is always on. Purchased this way from previous owner. I always use the odometer anyways and refill around 100 miles because I'm too much of a sissy to see how much mileage I can actually get out of a tank
    Horn is currently not working unless the handlebars are angled to the right, indicating a pinched/oxidized wire somewhere along the line. Haven't fixed it yet


    Bike is very clean, pulls hard through all gears with no problems and leaves a smile on your face every time you crack the throttle. Handles great in the corners and still gets pretty good gas mileage (at least 35)

    Comes with both black keys, the red key, the code card, and registration through March 2013

    If you'd like, I also have some riding gear I could include with the sale for an additional cost. Such as:

    HJC RPS-10 Helmet - size XL, comes with clear/smoked shields and a Pinlock system (uninstalled)
    River Road Hoodlum jacket - size 42, lots of pockets and a zip-out/very warm and comfy liner
    TCX X-Action Boots - Size 11
    Icon Stryker Field Armor Chest/Spine Protector - Size Large
    Alpinestars SPS Gloves - Size Large

    Asking $6,500

    Additional pictures of anything on the bike/gear and any information are available upon request!

    The price is somewhat negotiable.

    Any other questions/comments? PM me, and I'll respond ASAP.

    Thank you for your preemptive condolences, I wish I didn't have to sell her. She's so much fun and is an absolute BLAST to ride, but alas... serious work calls.

    No longer for sale. Had a buyer come and test ride this beauty only to lowside it into a curb. It will now most likely be written off and I have to deal with insurance.

    Damn, Eric! One bad turn after another. Selling the bike is bad enough...but having a douche crash it. Despicable!

    Exactly what I thought of.

    Nothing makes me happier than the fact that your motive is based on spite, revenge, and regret. Well done sir. A tip of the hat to you. - tankdeer

    Lol yes, I was linked that ad by several people - I definitely thought of it throughout this whole situation. I made the poor assumption that because he wanted to test-ride it, he was very interested and had the cash with him or available to purchase the bike at full asking price in the case that this occurred. This was definitely not the case. I thought this was a common understanding between fellow motorcycle riders and is standard practice, but apparently not.

    The guy covered my deductible which was good of him so at the end of the day, nothing came out of my pocket, my rates didn't go up, and I ended up with a pretty fair market value in cash for the bike.

    Just sucks that I had to see my baby go this way I wanted her to go to a new loving home and be ridden and loved tens of thousands of miles more by another Ducati enthusiast, not auctioned off for parts.

    However, I think I'll be picking up an E30 with a 3L stroker in it and a 4.10 LSD out back next weekend trading one batshit crazy metal monster for another
