No, please, stop it… you are just making numbers up now and seeing if anyone is gullible enough. I can’t think of any other explanation for this… https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20466402...eFrccxKQH-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
If it was a pri It's basically a up market street fighter. The original bike goes for around £10k and that's probably all this is worth.

This started life as a 1000 sp which would probably have been worth £4-5K. I like the tasteful styling cues, like putting round rocker covers on square barrels as a nod to the original LeMans. The drilled sheet mountings for the fairing and clocks are works of back street simplicity. Fitting the rear brake lever rose joint to the side because it wont fit in its proper location is worthy of billy the bodger. The rear end must have taken months in the styling studio to decide to remove the mudguard and attach the number plate with a bracket. If this had £60k spent on it, KaffeeMaschine must charge an extortionate hourly rate. @buzzer has a far nicer and better engineered example imho.
The ad says the bikes for sale in Huddersfield, which appears to have changed a bit since I was last there!

I may actually sell this one at the end of the season...
Quite honestly, I think some of the detailing and solutions the builders chose are laughable on a £10k bike, let alone the silly numbers they put on the build cost and the current price. Real bodge-it and scarper. There are also some safety related concerns I would have like short bolting of the discs, no load spreading of the caliper bolts on the forks that should not pass muster on any build. But if it’s never going to be ridden…
I find there pictures very awkward to see what actual damage has occurred . Judging by sale prices of lots of there bikes I'm guessing people are parting them out ?
They used to do really good clear pictures but recently they have changed premises and the pictures are nowhere near as good. I’ve bought 3 bikes off them over the years and still own all of them but I do think bike prices have gone silly and so have second hand parts prices.
That seems like al lot of money for an unremarkable 70's 125 2 stroke that isn't even UK registered. (and that's coming from a guzzi fan boy)

Probably the worst ducati EVER ! 16" wheels on a frame designed to use 18" wheels, lead to the worst handling bike. If you braked coming into a roundabout the bike would stand up - you had no control. I had a test ride on one in 1987, boy I rode 2 miles , almost crashed ( thought it would be handling like a Pantah ) Went back to Bob Hill in Hertford, told "them something is loose ! Or broken" They said , " they all do that !" I ran away and bought a Suzuki RG500....
Give the bike it’s due though, it was the first to offer retractable indicators at the push of a button for that extra mph or two on a top speed run…
