The original owner purchased the bike cash at zero miles from Eximport Cycles in the year 2002.

In the year 2003 the new body style was. and the owner traded in for the new body style.

Subsequently thereafter. I purchased the bike from Eximport Cycles and I was pleased with the bike. but wanted a more unique color.

MY objection in painting & upgrading parts was to give it a rich and bright color. yet still appear Ducati factory.

Here is a list of Upgrades I added as well as the paint details.

1. )  Termignoni dual exhaust (carbon fiber) 

2. )  Carbon fiber guards through out. (foot guards / exhaust pipe guard/ chain guard  / swing-arm guard (all carbon fiber)

3. )  SARGENT custom seat/saddle (carbon fiber skelly insert. Super atomic foam padding wrapped in carbon textured leather) 

4. )  Speedy Moto aluminum dry race clutch cover

5. )  Paint job - House of Kolor Candy Cobalt blue. (Candy color =  three+ layer paint starting w/ a Silver base coat. multiple cobalt blue candy coats topped with lacquer clear).  Factory Ducati 748s decals were also clear coated.  (additional stickers are Not permanent & can be removed)
