And what wheels did they used? Front can be from a 998 as well. But the rear not as it is double sided swingarm. Wonder what they made fit,monster,SS,ST? Henk!!!
lots of the very early 999 had the dodgy looking welded brackets in the frame . I bought a new 2003 model but mine wasnt like that . this picture is from an early brochure that has the same bracket but not as badly welded .
The paperwork photographed in post 56 states (if my Italian is right) that the bike cannot be registered for road use and is sold only for use on private land, or on track. I imagine that may be because as a pre-production model (whether prototype, or PP model) not being part of the production run, it does not come into the homologation for that model in accordance with EU law/Highway Code - would that be right?
Yes, that is one of the levers I used when Ducati refused to speak to me about my prototype - Duty of Care and all that but the PP bikes were homologated for road use - maybe not the earliest ones of which that appears to be PP frame number 1 but some went on road test with magazines.
You think they are bad, you should hear some of my Lambretta loving mates. :Banghead: They can tell you about every nut and bolt. :Meh:
tbh its a good thing if you are looking to buy something that you don't know much about. There is a wealth of knowledge on here. still nerds though ..
