  1. I know its been discussed before, but never had a definitive answer.

    Its about the Engine Number stamped on the 748R...

    One guy has mentioned that within the number it will have the following:

    748R. and a couple have stated their engines have 748W. They also stated that Ducati confirmed they have R Engines..

    My own 748R/2 has a W on the engine, and the same number appears on both the 'Pre Delivery' Paper copy and the V5.....

  2. I think you should post a gratuitous picture of your bike as part of this thread. Also, we can keep a count of 748r ownership amongst the forum membership (have the same running in a Pani R thread - currently standing at 17).
    I will check mine when I get home. :motorcycleduc::upyeah:

  14. 20190921_104328.jpg I doubt there is any difference in the cases of an 748R compared to a base model 748. This was a 748R case

  15. I've a 748RS and the numbers are very confusing.
    front side 2.jpg
    The Chassis number looks like your engine numbers "ZDM748W4*xxxxxx*"
    And the engine number is all numbers and then a letter 00xxxxxxA.
    I've a letter of authentication from Ducati UK confirming it is correct and was originally supplied in 1997 to a German main dealer for racing.
    I think something went wrong at Ducati and the database the day mine was made ?:mad: :eyes:

  16. Yours was never a road bike, but a very limited run of race bikes, but you know this already :thinkingface:

  17. Looks like they missed the B off mine, plus mine's only got 16 digits:confused:
