Are you around this weekend ..... I think I've got a trip up you way (bringing matches and petrol )....
That would be me I have a genuine 998s mono, but bought a bip subframe and seat so I could take a pillion. currently in the process of getting the mono stuff out of the loft and returning it to its original form, seeing as I have the Monster for 2-up rides. Might be ready by spring time :-D
This is the bike that was on ebay a month back where the seller (my opinion of whom shall remain unstated) told buyers not to bother bidding unless they started at £20k! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302862929618?ul_noapp=true
Look...Bins AND a Skip!! Thankfully it comes with undrilled side fairings as well as the ruined ones pictured. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-1098R-1098r/273471718671?hash=item3fac2f450f:g:r1IAAOSwMSVbo3n2
