We don’t find many Ducati Running When Parked offerings. Ducati owners seem to value their bikes, ride them often or trade them in on an upgrade. This Monster 620 just got turned off and parked.
The saddle is missing. The right front turn signal is snapped. It appears the bike has been stored outdoors. And the owner does admit that it had an oil leak that might not be fixed. There is only one shot of the bike so there could be more issues on the other side.
Kelly Blue Book didn’t have this model listed. I found a few used ones in Europe (running) with an asking price of around $2500. So the seller’s listing of $1500 isn’t crazy if that leak is indeed fixed and there are not more hidden issues.
If you know Ducatis and want a fun canyon slicer, money talks. You can check if it is still for sale by clicking here.
WHAT IS A RWP’ed?
The phrase “Running When Parked” (RWP) is code for a once treasured possession that has been neglected in the corner of the garage or tool shed for far too long. Lacking the energy, time or resources to bring the little beauty back to life, the owner lists it for sale in hopes that a new owner will massage it back to health. Our collection of RWP bikes fall into two distinct categories; treasure or trash. And you are the only one who can properly judge which category the bike belongs in.
