  3. Haha
    One day, fella;)
     
  4. Nice one!
    Very clean!
    Looks almost 100% standard - discs appear non standard but I may be wrong.
    Enjoy.

  6. I think they are std but have been painted as have the Calipers also, I’ll probably take the paint off where it shouldn’t be to keep the OE look.
    But will be changing a few bits on it in the future.

  7. Nice subtle bin work there, a couple of shy ones, not flashing their wares. @Davebird will be well happy. :) :upyeah:

  8. I’ve already purchased these for a fair price, but will keep an eye out in the future for some Termi’s

  14. No Ducati picture is complete without a cheeky wheelie bin loitering in the back ground somewhere

  15. Very nice well done you enjoy..

    But it’s NOT a Duke....

    Noodipedia states....

    Dukes are old guys who reside mostly in Norfolk, who on occasions escape the OAP home and creates carnage on the local roads..

    Some like to be called Sir Duke, Why? I Wonder, but apparently a Guy called Stevie knows, While others can be seen blowing their own trumpet..

  16. Welcome mate, bike looks a cracker - though I have to disagree with earlier comments.
    Dark metallic green ones are definitely the fastest :innocent:

  18. Thanks
    They are beautiful looking machines, good luck with your shopping:innocent:
     
  19. How long were you looking for before you found her. Also I know it’s not really ‘cricket’ but what miles and age is it etc?
     
  20. I’ve been looking for years on and off tbh.
    But had too many other commitments etc.
    Wanted this model since I first saw a 916 back in the 90s.
    I’ve been looking properly for about 3 months.
    Found this one on Fb marketplace, seller put it on during winter months and was pretty relaxed about sale.
    It’s on 02 plate and has 8900 miles on clock.
