Monster dark

The 620

What is the difference between the dark version and a standard black one
other than the shine on the paint?

A dealer is telling me the only other difference is the single front disc on
the dark. But is the frame or any other part of the bike different? I've
seen black monsters with silver coloured frames. And I thought they had
different gearboxes too? Dealer said, no both 5 speed.

Any help appreciated.

 

thx but the website is telling me one thing and the dealer another.

 

thx. I'm in Perth. Only 1 dealer here and they don't have any I can look at

 

yeh of course the dealer would know everything lol

 

Well, that depends on which website he's reading - the US Ducati models
are sometimes different from the Australian market ones, so
www.ducati.com isn't neccessarily correct, and the www.ducati.com.au
website is run by NFI, who are very aptly named...

I thought there were two here mate.. Motorcycle City in Vic Park and
Frasers up near me in Morley.

 

ok thx I didn't know that, will check them out

 

Guess I could call Ducati direct, yeah might do that

 

I've been to the Vic Park but they only have the new liquid cooled monsters
which I'm not partial to. Where's Morley? I'm in Joondalup. Sorry don't know
Perth too well yet. I just come over from Melbourne.

 

Found this:

'The Dark version is characterised by the absence of the removable seat
cover, which adds aesthetic appeal to the seat when riding solo, and the
absence of the front fairing and rubber clad footrests.'

I don't understand that statement about the seat cover. Are they talking
about the pillion seat? And why does it add aesthetic appeal?

 

Oh I get it, it means the pillion is covered by a plastic shell, which is
removable when you need to. Don't see the need for this cover anyhow.

 

covering the pillion in a plastic shell would probably help with
aerodynamics

 

I've found that it helps with my Madras Enfield
Isaac.

 

Go down the freeway, take the tunnel exit, turn left at Gt Eastern Hwy.
Melbourne is just 4000 kms down that road. Or get a phonebook and a street
directory.

It would also tend to help one pass the driveby noise test!

didn't think of that. .. not that I'll be racing it

 

whoosh

 

reverse whoosh

 

It depends on the size But the Darks have budget suspension and on the 900s'
I think some internal engine changes as well ,maybe cams and carbs

Frames are identical

I've

Gearboxes are the same I believe

Hope this helps, but beware, I don't often know what I'm talking about

Just get it ,you know you want to

Yeah found Frasers. It's a huge shop. Never seen so many ducatis in one
store.
