A quick look around and it going to be a passion build at £500 purchase already because there’s a lot missing and it looks like they can be picked up in near restored condition for £1500ish? And the Mountaineer is the model to get?
this appears to be quite good going by current prices?.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185016196182?hash=item2b13d31c56:g:A9MAAOSwCVVhJhkV
I think rushing into these things without doing the sums is madness, as you say for a little extra pocket money perhaps one that's completed already's the right move and certainly the right choice for lazy bastards like me.
Hello again all. There's another 1299 I'm looking at which was a registered cat n. Post being stolen, ignition barrel and tank. 7k miles. All been repaired and I've had the photos sent over. It's had a ducati service. The stolen part makes me a bit nervous, but if it's been serviced properly? Thoughts? (I'm new to ducati, hence queries). I appreciate any used bike could come with headaches. Thanks all. Item 185019319161
Just my opinion: if if has a grubby past, then I would expect the price to reflect it. Ig not then why buy?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185019319161?hash=item2b1402c379:g:1dQAAOSwHtthFQU- so out of it now, I can't remember "Cat N" in detail, hopefully the gang will be along to chew it all over.
Price seems reasonable for the mileage, but I'm fairly sure I could knock it down a bit. I have to factor in getting it to mainland UK anyway. Just wondered if anyone else would take the plunge, hence my hesitancy in just getting it!
"Category N write-off applies to motorcycles that have a small amount of damage and can be repaired. Typically, this type of damage may consist of cosmetic issues such as Fairings or damage to steering locks. These vehicles are perfectly fine and safe to ride again once they've been repaired." In this case it was rhe ignition barrel and fuel tank. All repaired
750cc Ducati Monster, apparently as good as it gets. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30410032...rentrq:90c6877417b0aaec8680ee92fff337fe|iid:1
Not sure about bikes, but brother inlaw had real problems insuring a bmw M3 that had been written off & professional returned to road. Only one company would insure.
