Any scary reason why not?

Viewing this tomorrow. It's had loads of interest but I have my name top of the list.

Really fancy it. It's got a reasonable service history and just a couple of minor marks I'd try and sort. Matt Black is not my favourite finish.

The dealer can't do a test ride but it should be OK at about 105 bhp.

What do you think?

I absolutely adore those things. Ridden the 749 and the 999 lots and I'd have either.

Dealers not far from you. Are you about?

I only have a small time window but it would be good to catch up.

Looks in good condition. Not far from me.

Matt black is an arse to clean but I loved the look on my aprillia.

Trick was to wash it, wipe it over with a baby wipe and WD40 then Wurth Helmet Cleaner spray and polish off.

Thanks Dom.

The matt finish is the worse thing about it so I appreciate the tips.

I'm fairly relaxed today so let me know when you're going and I'll bob down.

I'm going tomorrow Dan. Awaiting authorisation to do a circuit evaluation on the airfield tomorrow afternoon hence not knowing yet what sort of time I'll have available. I'll be going first thing.

no prob's. London all weekend doing CPD. Will bob over soon and have a look at you.

Will give wifey a slap tonight over shameful lack of OT tickets this season........ it really is not good enough.

apart from being the wrong colour.. it looks alreet

Phil_8 · February 23, 2018, 05:09:14 PM

Much better choice than the Daytona

Shame the budget cannot stretch to a 999 though I assume

MOzZereLLa · February 23, 2018, 07:44:44 PM

Dan - awesome. Get some OT time immediately.

Komp - at least it's designed by a Ducati legend and not a German car company.

Phil - decent 999's well out of budget. I'm stretching to the 749.

I like the idea of lightness and corner speed.

Belts...that's all.

They've been done in the past 2 years. It's got some history. The bike shop owner knows it's owner and has dealt with him for some time. I will try and get them to drop the price so I can get them done for peace of mind.
