    & welcome to the forum
     
  9. Darr
    I will be interested. You have a direct link for me?
     
  10. Thank you. It's a very helpfu friendly forum :D
     
  11. Can't grab a link from them, but search Ducati and it's the first one (yellow) it's also just above this post now

    Cam belt needs doing from age not miles, I will be changing this in two weeks
     
  12. nice looking scoot
     
  13. Lush looking bike mate. I was near your way today actually. Rode Swindon 1st,then to Birmingham ;)
    I have a feeling tho your bike is out of my budget range.
     
  14. @DarrenB didn't you just get that bike? What was wrong with it that you don't want to keep it now?
     
  15. Are you blind? It's yellow ;)
     
  16. I love it so much, and can see myself spending 2k upwards on bits and shocks etc. I am now thinking it will be wiser to get a SPS or R spec if i'm spending this much on it..

    Its my favorite bike of all time, you will see me upgrade everything over the coming months, carbon wheels, 1k front shocks, but a R already has some of these upgrades
     
  17. What sort of price will it be going for
     
  18. It was purchased for £3250 last week

    I added the new alarm, £149.00
    I have the receipt, installed with two zone imobalisation

    Adjusted the head stock to stock & Installed the clutch lever & clip on correctly (pin was not going through the locate hole)

    Replaced the aftermarket rear signal lens, installed new renthal grips and changed the clutch fluid

    Installed a new Motobatt Battery £66 have the receipt too

    All this done over the weekend

    Looking to see £3400 that's cheaper than most on eBay with this low miles.

    Cam Belt has done 1.5k miles, but is older than 4 years so that's next on my list, once this is changed will add £120 to the price

    I also have the three Ducati books, 2 keys (one has the meta fob built into key) Original purchase when new receipt and some history

    Covered 10,250 miles now.
