Had one, K reg - was that 96?
Think it was number 256.
Things to look for amongst others:
cracked frame at stock.
carbs tended to ice up so some had oil warmer mod - I just used silkolene pro-fst additive.
front brakes are fully floating (mkI model) so tended to sound a lot worse than they are, they feel as though they are about to fall off
rear brake was converted by lots to be underslung although originally was over the swing arm
check the exhaust hangars - tended to snap with hairline cracks

apart from those Ducati characteristics - fine machine, wife wants me to go back to one.
