I like the cleaner lines TBH. I do have the sticker kit and thought about putting them on, but haven't.
The current fleet (apart from the 749) Also another 851 with 996 engine in the garage. Monnie S4 with 999 engine under cover. View attachment 20963
My first Ducati.. An 860GTS. The only bike I've ever bought brand new on 9th Dec 1976. Followed by this .. Bought as an "ex-demonstrator" from Coburn & hughes in Jan 1979. It was the one that was lent out to all the magazines for road testing. I still have the mags but not the bike alas, although I did keep it for nearly 12 years.
I know I've already posted in this thread, but I've just found & scanned this picture, must've been taken not to long after I first bought it. Bit different from my previous picture on page 1!
