Can anyone tell me if this is a standard Ducati colour, and if so, where can I get a matching beige seat cover, cos it looks a bit odd with a yellow one on. People keep trying to tell me its had a spray job, but the bloke who sold it to me said it was a special Ltd edition colour

[Steve M]

It's had a spray job.

I might be wrong but it's no colour I've ever seen on a Ducati out of the factory or elsewhere for that matter. Have you bought it?

[marksduc748]

No! it needs a spray job :P

Hi there and welcome to the board.

The bloke who sold it to you and said it was a special limited edition, did he have a very long nose by any chance?

I'd be VERY surprised if it was a standard colour.

Probably best to get the seat recovered, i've heard of a company in the Gloucester area who do this sort of work, but can't find their number. Worth a search on Google though. The name 'Bum Wraps' springs to mind, and no i'm not taking the p*ss.

Good luck.

[JPM]

Definitely not a standard colour, are the insides of the panels the same colour also?

996 only came in Red and yellow, possibly green (Matrix edition??) 916 came in Silver/black also (Senna's)

I stand to be corrected

WTF

[beancounter]

Is that a real photograph ?

Looks strange (and I don't just mean the colour).

[bradders]

as we dont want to appear rude, welcome aborad and at least you wont be in the Red V Yellow debate!!

enjoy....and I bet it gets lots of looks

Is this a wind up?
The graphics and tank protector also look faded.
