DUCATI 851SP3 ORIGINAL1 OF 500 WORLD WIDE RACE CAMS NEW BELTS TYRES BATTERY ETC

HI . YOU ARE BIDDING TO BUY A VERY RARE 888 ENGINED DUCATI 851 sp3 . I READ IN ONE OF THE BIKE MAGAZINES THAT THERE ARE ABOUT 30 sp3 AND sp4 s IN THE UK . SO SAY 15 OF EACH . ( HENS TEETH . ROCKING HORSE DOO DO0'S ).

I HAVE DETAILS OF ALL THE PREVIOUS OWNERS .

THE BIKE WAS ORIGINALY PURCHASED FROM M&P MOTORCYCLES OF NEWCASTLE AND THEY HAVE A RECORD OF THE BIKE .

ENGINE NO / 0007*

FRAME NO / 00059*

EDITION NO / 11*

THE BIKE IS IN VERY GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO ORIGINAL BEING THE sp4 CARBON END CANS .

THE BIKE ALSO HAS G3 RACE CAMS .

ALL THE CHASSIS FASTENERS ARE ORIGINAL AND THE ENGINE FASTENERS ARE STAINLESS .

THIS IS A RELUCTANT SALE AS I FINDING THE RIDING POSITION INCREASINGLY MORE UNCOMFORTABLE DUE TO A BROKEN WRIST AND NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER EITHER .

THE BIKE STARTS FIRST TIME WITH A LITTLE THROTTLE AND DOES NOT SMOKE AT ALL THROUGH THE ENTIRE REV BAND . CLEAN AS A WHISTLE .

THERE ARE A FEW GRAVEL CHIPS ON THE PAINT WHICH IS TO BE EXPECTED ON A BIKE OF THIS AGE .

THERE ARE ALSO SOME STRESS FRACTURES ON THE INDICATOR AND REAR BRAKE LENSES . NOTHING SERIOUS . See Pics .

THE BIKE IS CURRENTLY ON SORN BUT I CAN SEE NO REASON WHATSOEVER WHY IT WON'T FLY THROUGH THE MOT .

THE PREVIOUS OWNER PUT A DIGITAL SPEEDO ON AND TOLD ME HE PUT ABOUT 7K ON IT . I HAVE NO REASON TO DOUBT THIS .

NO TYRE KICKERS . TYRES HAVE ALREADY BEEN KICKED TO SAVE TIME . ABSOLUTELY NO HAGGLING AS YOU WILL HAVE HAD A WASTED JOURNEY .

STRICTLY CASH ON COLLECTION UNLESS OTHERWISE PREVIOUSLY AGREED .

                                         A GENUINE APPRECIATING INVESTMENT .

                                                      THANKS FOR LOOKING .
