Hey If you go to the Ducati website you can use the "contact us" form to send your frame/engine number and a lovely lady called Sofia will call from Italy and tell you exactly when it was built.
Fair enough, she has always called me though, but it has only been 3 times. I expect the least you would get is an email. She even called me about paint codes on Monday.
She only calls because you will start a 200 page email trail if she doesnt call and tell you directly, one to one, ASAP and before dawn.
