I'm looking to buy a 1997 Ducati 916 Mono. I purchased one new back in 97 and unfortunately had to sell it when times got tough. Fast forward to now, and I want to get it back! Only a 97 Mono will do . . . it's an emotional thing.

916

I have a 1995 mono with 3k miles if you're interested.

Look at the listing I posted just before you posted this https://www.ducati.org/forums/bikes/114813-sale-1997-916-351-original-miles.html

Thanks Ryan . . . I'm limiting the search to 1997's for the time being. I may expand the search to other model years if my search turns out to be fruitless.

Thanks 2WheelTrvlr . . . your bike looks AWESOME!! It's quite a bit north of my budget, but given it has so few miles, I know it is absolutely worth what you are asking!! I forwarded your ad to some friends of mine for them to look at.

Thanks Meisco - any way I can get the word out is most excellent. Good luck in your search, I realize you're looking for a rider and not a shop queen so my bike doesn't really fit your needs anyway, no matter the cost.

Update . . .

I've been looking in earnest for a 1997 Ducati 916 Mono for more than 9 months now with no luck. I started using a site called OneCraigs.com, which searches ALL Craigslist sites nationwide. I use the following search term: Onecraigs - Search all of Craigslist nationwide. I'll search that link 2 to 3 times a day, to no avail.

However, last Saturday, a bike finally popped up! And it was priced within 10% of the Blue Book value! I'm thinking it's finally happened! The clouds parted, birds were singing, grown men openly weeped (ok . . . that was just me . . .). I already had cleared it with the boss (still negotiating putting it in the living room though), and was just thinking through the next steps. I wasn't even going to negotiate - just pay the asking price! It was late at night and decided to contact the seller in the morning.

Bad move . . the listing was already removed in the morning! Dammit!

So . . . anyone know of any other places to search other than Cycletrader, Craigslist, eBay, Facebook?
