From what i can remember there were 155 to Europe, USA and the rest of the world. USA version had the standard 998 engine due to emission restrictions, but it got carbon fibre fairings and BB autographed the tanks
Always wanted one of these. Great looking bikes. But I've already got one garage ornament. Not sure I'd sell it mate, I'd keep it just to look at.
Quick update - Adding Helibars has given my back a bit of a rest & it passed the ULEZ test this morning.Will need to take it for a few long rides to see if is going to stay or go.
No, mines not up for sale yet & if i did decide it would go on here in the classifieds. I can see 2 on ebay £23,950 with only 2 miles on it - ouch! & £20,996 in Chelmsford. Would be really interesting to see if they sell at those prices, i wasn’t expecting such a high figure.
Good to hear. Hope you can keep it. I had #55 eu spec. So they probably kissed each other on the production line...
Ok, think i’ve made up my mind to let it go… just don’t use any of my 3 Ducatis enough to justify keeping all 3. I need to get up in loft & garage to find all the spare parts etc (definitely have the Bostrom collectors plate, cover, rear stand & leather jacket, but can’t remember all the other parts in storage.) If anyone is looking for a Bostrom rep keep an eye out on the classifieds & feel free to drop me a msg.
Bikes as investments is a bit of an illusion. Try putting some new purchase prices into an inflation calculator and you will find very few get back to their original value let alone an investment type return.
It does gets a bit embarrassing at mot time when your get 3 sorted and the mileage travelled doesn’t even come close to justify the service costs
Would that be worse if, just for argument’s sake, say, you had 6 Ducatis? And a Guzzi. And a KTM. And two Hondas. And a Gilera, and none of them got to triple figures last year? Umm. Think that’s all currently… yep, sold 4 last year and only bought one. Asking for a friend
I feel your pain, and I've only got two bikes. If I thought too much about it, I'd realise both utterly pointless owning. So, erm, I don't think about it too much.
Can vouch for this bike as a lovely example, I have seen if in the flesh several times and the seller is a genuine person. Will make a great buy for some lucky person.
