Yeah, it popped up on my e-mail yesterday. I think it's been on a couple of times now. Strange that he puts 'Desmosedici' in the title and not '999'
The question is how do you purchased any motorbike at the minute with social distancing in play....face mask/gloves
Seems a real bargain unless its a CAT bike, not checked to see if that is the case. I`d be tempted but I just cant get on with adventure type bikes despite having tried over a 1000 miles or so on them. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2017-DUC...489001?hash=item4b77162c29:g:YMAAAOSwym1egpbE
I fear this lockdown may last till late June. If it goes past June & most peoples mortgage holiday breaks the toys will all be sold. The danger is things like bikes, classic cars may never bounce back as world is changing & this could be the biggest finiacial upheaval since WW2. I personally fall into recently self employed, agency worker category. This means zero help from Boris to feed & house family of 4. Edit Ftse is probably a better punt than combustion engine
Me too on the sole trader thing ..my father said this morning,this is ten times plus worse than the 2007/8 crash...i guess we all might have rethink our next move in life.
Only way you could justify buying some form of vehicle now is going blind, if the seller is that close to you it can also double up as a shop run, and they leave it outside and you don't touch it for three days. That's what my dad's just done with a new tractor, they dropped it off Friday and yesterday he went outside and got in it. But tbf it's agriculture.
I think you can hire old ambulances, failing that hire a black Vito and put a private ambulance sticker on the back...
Back again, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-8...833570?hash=item4215c15622:g:QhcAAOSwvH5dUTnJ, pretty sure it’s the original photograph. Andy
From what I know of the Marchesini magnesium alloy wheels of that period, IF the Marchesini stickers are kosher, from what I can see of the rear wheel spokes, they aren’t the Road and Track version, no bracing in the spoke. That would suggest, IF kosher, they should be theRace version. Given that it has what looks like an RS clutch side magnesium engine case, it is feasible that the wheels are magnesium alloy too. If I were buying it for road use, the wheels would be the first thing to replace, quickly followed by the RS engine case. Andy
The Marchesini magnesium alloy wheels of that period did. Always hard to tell from a rubbish resolution picture. Be nice to know where it was imported from. Andy
they are standard 748s/r wheels, no doubt. Not mag, however the clutch side engine case does look mag, and looks cut away around the clutch which also looks tired for 800 miles, it’s screaming race bike to me....
