I was fortunate to have the loan of a Santa Monica for a couple of weeks back in late eighties. Loved it.
I thought you all would be interested in adding this one to your Ducati collection and that screen must be a very very very rare barn find. Now all get bidding
This 851 is in exceptional condition with short mileage but unfortunately tall pricing. https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1535984
What on earth is “mild recommissioning” ? Is that a euphemism for needs a lot of money throwing at it and time spent searching for unobtainium ? Andy
Lovely but i reckon depends when you want your pension. I'm still convinced there will be nobody around who wants them in 10+ years
Barely ridden - with 18K miles..... And the photos ? They can't even be bothered to crop them from their phone.
Part of me hopes your right Faser. I'll be coming up retirement age in 10yrs ++ and I've a list of bikes I'd love to ride before hanging my lid up.
Not sure I agree with your timescale. There's a lot of people just don't want an EV, two wheels or four - I'm one of them. Also, I'm really not convinced that EVs are the future - not enough lithium, how do you dispose of batteries etc etc. And anyway, sale of new petrol/diesel cars won't be banned until 2030 at the earliest (and I bet that date slips) so fuel will be around for a good few years after that. So I reckon you're being a bit pessimistic. I hope!
