2004 DUCATI 998 BIP RED

THIS IS A VERY NICE LOOKING BIKE IF YOU ARE INTO DUCATI. IT IS THE 998 S WHICH HAS THE TESTASTRETTA  ENGINE. THE BIKE IS CATEGORY D AND THIS IS WHAT I KNOW ABOUT IT. IT WAS STOLEN AND THEN RECOVERED BY THE POLICE. IN THE PROCESS OF BEING STRIPPED DOWN FOR PARTS. THE OWNER PURCHASED IT BACK FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND REBUILT IT. IT USED TO BE A MATRIX DUCATI AND IN THE PROCESS OF REBUILDING THE OWNER CHANGED THE COLOUR TO RED. IF YOU LOOKED ON THE INTERNET YOU WILL SEE WHAT CATEGORY D IS AND NOT BE SCARED OF IT. I CAN TELL YOU THAT EFFECT MY INSURANCE PREMIUM WHEN I INSURED IT. APART FROM THIS THE BIKE NEEDS A SERVICE AND MOT. SELLING AS A RESTORATION PROJECT. THIS VEHICLE IS ADVERTISED LOCALLY

WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIKE.  WE HAVE GONE TO START IT TODAY AND FOUND THAT IT IS POSSIBLY RUNNING LEAN.  THE EXHAUST GETS VERY HOT AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE GARAGE THAT THIS COULD BE BECAUSE THE BIKE HAS NOT BEEN STARTED FOR THREE YEARS AND THE FUEL IN THE SYSTEM MAY BE STALE. AS I HAVE SAID THE BIKE NEEDS TO BE SERVICED.  CAN I REMIND EVERYBODY THAT I AM SELLING THIS AS A RESTORATION PROJECT THAT IS WHY IT;S A LOW START WITH NO RESERVE. I HAVE ADDED A PICTURE OF THE ENGINE FOR EVERYBODY THAT HAS ASKED FOR IT.
