its not fuel as all my ducati's have gone the same the 999 has never seen rain and is always kept on a paddock stand and the same thing has happen to my monster and my 900ss , its a ducati paint thing
For me it's far too expensive for the model, year and miles. Walk away unless you can get a chunk off. I know you could get an s model for less. The engine is what you want. Far more bhp about ten I think. Swing arm you can change easy. http://ebay.to/1sMw9HD There another in eBay too. Both dealers do if expect to get a few quid of these too. Hope this helps http://ebay.to/1Co2w52
I don't think you will get a good S of that year ( ser 2 ) for less than that ,, but I agree it is way over priced,, but it is a pretty bike.
I enquired about that bike,, been on sale for a while now,, the writing is not just stickers it is sprayed on,, ( I don't think the sponsor deal comes with it )
TTonup, what put you off the Airwaves 749 ?...tempted to go look at it but the paint job is slightly off putting........
sorry mate,, missed this post,,, don't know if you still interested, or if the bike is still for sale,,, IIRC what put me off was that it was not an S and I did not like the paint job / advertising on it.
Anyone know the silver paint spec for the engine case paint? My 999S has a small patch missing on the cases near the rear cylinder. It looks like it's a pooling point for liquid. I bought the bike like this and it hasn't gotten any worse, as the bije is garaged and rarely ridden in the rain by choice.
