Return Of The Desmo

  1. Hi all,
    So I owned a 996 for 15 years and had a bit of a mad moment and sold it, instantly regretted but after a little time had passed I got the itch and found a “cheap” 748

    as usual it turned out to be far from cheap as I’ve had to pour thousands into it to get it up to a useable state!
    it’s not finished yet but mechanically it’s running correctly.

    so I’ll probably be looking for help from you all to get it in A1 condition

  6. The 996 was my dream bike & should not have sold it but here I am now!
    The 748 came with extensive service history but developed a misfire a few days after purchasing. A trip to my man (Ex sigma performance tech) showed massive dechroming on the rockers ££££

  14. Yes it’s a great bike actually! I bought it as a bit of fun whilst the 748 was in surgery- I’ll be sad to see it go…. mine has Harris rear sets but a steering damper might be nice :thinkingface:
