  1. for the mileage it seems quite well priced for my limited knowledge. Just got to figure out how I get it from where it is to my house which is 3 1/2 hour drive away
     
  2. Train there, ride it back.

    It's not as if the shock can get any worse.

  3. I guess I remember the heyday of 2k 996 and 5k sps

  6. Did you ever think to get one over the channel? (After all they are al imported from Italy) I bought one in December 998S with 24k km for 8.5k €. Which is a good value for an 02 bike.

  7. You may very well be right and I may be mixing 3 cross up with something else, but I don’t think there was an ‘official’ importer back then.
     
  8. Moto Cinelli used to use a strapline that they were the only official UK importer of Ducati (Small print at the bottom of the advert)

  9. Just curious but weren’t the Matrix bikes a limited run with a plaque on the top yolk?
     
  10. It’s Ducati’s answer to a rear brake :D

  12. They sold Ducatis from Moto Cinelli too. Look at Dorset on the 1996 dealer list on post #150.
     
  13. Nice. An early Cagiva model too, complete with Ducati Racing wheels. Don’t lose that one for the sake of a few hundred.

    Re getting it back contact a bike transporter like Chad Mortimer or our very own @Im closing in if the tagging system would ever find his fecking name:(

  14. I plan on not missing out. I will be arranging for someone to collect it and transport it for me as I want to do some bits first like sort the shock and brake lines.
    I will also be getting a tracker fitted (the wife is insisting on this after the accident)
    So I’m getting quotes from people in regards to the cost of the transportation.
    All recommendations great fully received.
