Ta da! Found the engine number after moving 3 bikes that is had locked up for the night! Needed a good scrub then a run over with a pencil. Sooooo, VIN - ZDMH100AAVB000809 Engine number - ZDM916W4*000841* I'll email ducati tomorrow with the new info!
Using this decoding, doesn't make sense https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/ducati-916-sp-1995-decoding-vin-number.36765/ Also isitnicked doesn't list the vin (cant find in database), and this other site brings it back as a street fighter (!) https://vindecoder.eu/check-vin/ZDMH100AAVB000809 50p says SPS frame
I looked at the VIN decoder. Got the H as a homologulation model, now is that for all 916SPS or in my wildest dreams, a kyalami frame foggy rep! Air cooled as well, so not sure, but '97 frame with a '98 plate. Started her up today and still haven't stopped smiling!
tru, looking at the fairing it could be either, but jan reg will mean a 97 produced bike. think that went 996 sps tagged in '99. mine was a '98 and had the 'ducati' only fairing decal
tbh I broke mine and it was in better condition that that looks. But then they were only worth 7k mint, so getting nearly 6 by breaking was worthwhile
Looks like the nose cone is a foggy rep stickers one. Side panels are different reds and dont have the bulge for the battery box. Tail unit may be the only original piece! Which bikes came with carbon fairings?
Not breaking this one! Replacing soft fasteners with stainless, getting everything else zinc plated, vapour blasted and doused in elbow grease! Engine and belts already sorted by a good mate in northwich, who happens to build engines for the Ducati team in BSB
