Title: Need a loan of £16,950
Post by: albitz on 15 August 2012, 23:47:09
Number 1 of 1500 limited edition. Only covered 65 miles from new in 1999. A bargain. :)
Im too old for it,and my knees would be murder ofter half an hour,but if I had the cash....... ::) 8)

Listing says number 1,but photo shows number 354. Would still have it though.

I can remember people paying that for them back in the day.They were thought to be an investment which would appreciate,but they didnt.Value dropped like a stone whhe he retired and the next bright young thing came along.
Cracking bike though,beautifully designed & engineeered,and the handling is as sweet as a very sweet thing,not to mention that V twin grunt. :y

Keep it inside the house Vamps.Ive known several Ducati owners who did.They were very thievable 10-15 years ago.
Make a lovely centrepiece for any living room too.Just sit and admire all the little details of a work of genius. :)

I'm thinking I need to become a biker - I've run out of space for car projects, but I could stack a good 8 bikes up the top of the livingroom..  ;D

I like this, but I'm not sure it would work as an investment.

If memory serves I've enjoyed just one quick blast on a Ducati........A Darmah from the late seventies. Red and white ( I think) :-* :-* :-* :-*
