Hi I just got a hypermotard 796. What a great bike to own . I already have a cagiva elephant but wanted a pure ducati too . What a great motorcycle
Heres my 750 cagiva elephant. I've had it 24 years and love it . Im doing a partial rebuild ,belts etc ,painted the engine and frame . Now indeed to do the paintwork . I think im going to do it white in the lucky strike colours
Nice . The guy I got the hypermotard from bought a 2yr old panigale . Its to fast for me but I like the 996
Good that you found the place, I love my Elefants, still got two. Not that you are even considering it, but you will find it easier to sell in the Lucky Strike colours.
Hi all, I am rebuilding a 1973 750GT motor for my brother. He bought it new from Italy whilst serving in the army in Malta. The motor has been in bits for some years, now down to me to rebuild. Do not know much about these bikes but am impressed with the engineering and quality. Currently sitting with a parts catalogue auditing what I have, at the moment I am trying to source the 14 tooth gear that drives the 28 tooth gear on the contact breaker shaft part 075546910. Seems to be unobtainable, thinking may have to have one made. Any advice, are Ducati likely to give me the drawing and spec?
You may want to start a thread here, your question will be buried where it is now. https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/forums/vintage.37/
Nice one. I have been loving my 796 for about 8 years. Light, quick enough & reasonably economical if you don't thrash the nuts off it! Not that it's been anywhere for best part of a year. Needs new belts & is due a service & some tlc when I make time to get it on the bench.
Its part of me i can't get rid of it and my kids are already arguing who gets it when I'm gone . Ha ha
