What was YOUR 1st Ducati?? Any pic's?

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by addicted.to.DUCATI, Sep 30, 2013.

  1. How are you meant to ride that and not burn your legs?
    Wouldn't appeal to the t-shirt and shorts brigade.
     
  2. My first was a 2000 model 748S monoposto with termignoni`s, grey 5 spoke marshini wheels and a super chip all fitted from new by Ducati. The engine blew up after 500 miles from new, Ducati took 4 months or so to fix, but then I used it for commuting for the next 6 months and put something like 6000 miles on it. When it was 1 year old I sold it to a guy from Glasgow and went out and bought both an R1 and a VFR750 with the cash I got.

    Interestingly it was exported in about 2007, but is now back in the country and for sale at a bike dealer near me for well over the market price otherwise i might have been tempted to buy it back.

    This is mine, I've only had it 18 months. This was the day I test rode it, one of the very few dry days last year!

  8. Ooh Lovely ZX10 back there too :upyeah:

  9. My first one was my blue 1999 St4 - bought as an ex-demo from Motorcycle City in Newton Abbott in 2001 with 1300 miles on it. Still have it - currently has 38000 miles on it. It's just passed the MoT, but is untaxed and off road as I'm "down south". Should be back on the road when I get home in mid-November...

  12. My first Ducati was a brand new 998FE - the last one ever to be sold. Sadly I don't have a photo of it because after owning it for 20 mins I wrote it off riding it back home from the shop!
