  1. Guys. Can you pls quickly educate me how would I tell real 748SP from not very real one?
     
  2. Iron discs up front,alloy sub frame,ohlins rear shock, oil cooler fitted,yellow in colour. Should come with paddock stand and cover originally.
     
  3. Cool. My mate was just about to pull a trigger on cbr600 but I think I convinced him to go for 748. Will go and quickly check it with him.
    What's they worth nowadays ?
     
  4. Oil cooler - where would I find it?
     
  5. Bottom of the V-piece below the water radiator. Andy

  6. Should also have a 45/50mm mid pipe for 50mm end cans which may or may not be fitted but should be included. Andy

  7. Is it just a pipe?
     
  8. No looks like a small rad under the main radiator.

  9. All of the above has been mentioned correctly. The engine is impossible to tell from a stock BP as it has Pankl steel rods and different cams, but shows no external differences.

    The oil cooler helps to distinguish it from a stock Bip.

    Engine cases should be grey\green in colour and it will have single phase electrics.

    Floating front discs in cast iron are an easy identifying point but they do wear out so could have been replaced by steel ones. Some MOT stations are also not too keen on them either.

    When new it should have come with a Yellow dust cover, paddock stand and 45/50 Termis along with the correct chip. It should have been sold with stock exhausts as well.

    Brake and clutch reservoirs will be the early style ones. The SPS also had grey brake and clutch levers bit I am not sure if the SP did.

    A nice little bike and made better when the SPS came along to replace it.

  10. Sending frame and engine number to Ducati will confirm.
