After long search I found this bike at May of 2023. Bike was in a bit bad shape but I decided that it's now or never to have my dream bike. I decided to build whole bike again from scratch. Amount of spent money is ridiculous but it was also a lot of fun! Here some bits what has been done; - All bearings, seals and worn out parts new to engine - Valve checks, new belts etc.. - All engine cases vapor blasted and coated with powder coat - all carbon fairings painted with original color - Front suspension service - Termignoni 57mm exhaust - Ecu adjusted - Sprockets + chains - Some original ducati performance + cm composite carbon parts.. - Many parts blasted + powder coated.. Here everything starts; Taking engine out; Engine with a lot of corrosion; Some paint to blocks; Engine parts again together; Ducati back in shape again;
Looks great! I see in one picture it has carbon race air tubes but later it has original plastic ones - any reason for changing from one to the other?
I'm glad that you saw little details In fact pictures are not in chronological order. The picture where carbon air tubes are installed is the latest one and took couple days ago. Here in Finland we have now 20cm snow and -5 degrees so Ducati is again under modifications; Cm composite carbon, ducati performance rearsets etc..
This bike has been originally in England and a finnish guy bring it to Finland around 2011. Bike has been couple years a trackday bike and then about ten years just stored in garage. Bike ended up been in sale at Tampere, local Ducati dealer where I did purchase it.
Went to great wedding in Tampere many moons ago... a friend owned a mill there. Great fun and very weird in equal measures!
