Contact Martyn748, he maybe able to help you confirm things like chassis numbers etc. Martyn mentioned to me that he has contacts with checking out a variety of things Ducati and confirming whether things are genuine if you get my drift. Also Ducati UK will assist you too. Its worth checking out..
 
I know it's a long shot but are any of you free on tuesday am and in the sheffield area. I could do with some moral support and additional knowledge when I go to view and if ok buy this one.:support:
 
Sorry mate can't Tuesday morning, have too many working commitments on t'other side of the Pennines (Manchester)...
 
I spotted another one in this weeks Scot Ads for sale in Banchory. Asking price £6500. I don't know anything about it though.
 
I had one for 5yrs - you need to check the norms like service and belts - ring any of the dealers from the service book to check, also you can run a check on the limited SPS number on the tank plate. It should also come with a red cover and rear stand (it should also have a carbon airbox) - sold mine with 7000 miles for £8800

Hi Derek can you let me know the contact details asap please. I has a 700 mile round trip yesterday for nothing. The bike was a pile and the history was suspect to say the least:mad: :mad:

i guess its this one then
 
sorry for your wasted journey Pibbow but what upsets me more really is that fact that such a special bike could be so abused. I mean, it looks great in the pictures, but I too, having worked at Baines, I've seen the insides of engines that have been abused. Let alone what they look like on the outside!
 
Being old and cynical I believe in the theory that a bike/car whatever increases its sh!te value in direct proportion to how far you travel to buy it. Also known as Einstein's theory of sh!te relativity.:)

...oh I dunno if ETofSR is always true, went all the way to Germany to buy German sports cars and never came unstuck with a pig of a car. (then again it cost all of £17 to have Ryanair fly me to Dortmund last time I went, so a bit cheaper than Pibbows trip to Sheffield or whereever it was).:)
 
Thanks Gimzo I've been in contact with him over the last couple of day's, it's a nice bike but I either want 916 sps or a late ohlins 996 if possible.

Thanks for the heads up
