  1. Thought you might like to see a pristine 851 in at the moment, they really are lovely looking bikes.

  2. I think one of these will be next on my list of Ducatis to own. I so wish I'd bought that early kit 851 I was offered for £3k :frown: Still, that was in the mid/late 90's when everyone wanted a 916!
     
  3. That is so beautiful.

    identical to the one I used to have. Sob!
     
  4. Classically lovely. Imagine one of these but with an 1198 engine!

  5. That's gorgeous - I want one just like that.
     
  6. That was the model that first made me lust for a Duc. The Paso drew my attention but it was the 851 that was the hook in my brain. Never did get one :frown:
     
  7. I prefer the '89 strada 851's :wink:
     
  8. This was my first Ducati love....
     
  9. Lovely bike. Not that im in the market, but what do these go for these days?
     
  10. This was my 1992 851 ( prefer this bodywork ) which I sold last July for £4.5k. The prices are all over the place for these things. Paperwork, FSH and original condition all help with the values

  11. Very fond memories (and some not so good ones) of my SP2 that eventually got shipped to Australia.
    Please note, leathers colour matched to the curb at Corums....:smile:

  12. Never sure best way to take Corams. Do you hug the inside, or hit the apex, drift out in the middle and nail it back for the second apex before the tight left :smile:
     
  13. The circuit's changed since I last rode or spannered there, still go there though as Clerk of the Course for a car series..........:smile:
     
  14. That sounds like that could be a lot of fun. The main difference is the Corams is a little longer, going further right. Then makes the sharp right a little easier and the straight a little longer. Well worth going. I'll be back there during the Bike reclaim days this year :upyeah:
     
  15. Don't think you can't be seen out there......This was Silverstone....can't find one of Snetts but there are plenty of cameras....:smile:
