Ducati Monster Boge rear shock came from the 750SS Tyres A very popular choice among Monster owners these days is the Pirelli Diablo, a versatile tyre that offers good all-round grip and better-than-average durability. The Michelin Pilot Power 3 also tends to be very popular, with good grip – especially in the wet. If you’re looking for more extreme sports use, many Monster owners tend to go for the Pirelli Diablo Corsa.

The Triple had style, durability and superb build quality, and is increasingly the most collectable early Hinckley machine. Value now: £2500-£4500 Honda CB1000 ‘Big One’ 1993-’96 998cc, 16v, dohc, inlinefour Oddball ‘superroadster’ developed with HRC-style fastidiousness from CBR1000F running gear, resulting in a classy 100bhp beast that was fun but pricey, and arguably before its time. Rare today and temptingly cheap too. Value now: £1750-£3500 BMW R1100R 1994-’99 1085cc, 4v, highcam, boxer twin Roadster version of BMW’s all-new air/ oil-cooled boxer was far more lively, entertaining and versatile than its slightly drab, oddball looks suggest. Undervalued in the UK as a used buy, it’s a bulletproof snip compared to the more glamourous GS and RT variants. Value now: £1500-£3000
