[antonye]

Maybe, as per the advert, you should call Ducati London South and speak to them about it?

[Twinfan]

Must be worth a call from someone?

[andyb]

in this sellers ebay history hes bought a set of part worn, only done one track day, pirellis 190/120s. Might be another person of course, but gives a bit of credability to ownership of a bike of sorts.

[antonye]

I don't think the ownership is in doubt, more the actual history of the bike - do Ducati really build custom spec machines? A lot of it is old kit - SPS engine, 3 spoke wheels, gold frame, vented fairing and so on.

Doesn't quite sound right...

[JPM]

Exactly... sounds more like an older bike being fobbed off as newer bike

[smilo006]

It was that one mentioned. Agree with the last comment.

[Mr_S]

Either that, or the guy who had it built's a complete fruit loop, and whoever built it for him was laughing all the way to the bank...

[yeti]

This is a scrapper or an import. Probably the latter and it's been registered as newer than it is.

[Road Runner]

I agree yeti leave it well alone

[bradders]

my guess would be an old sps that has been laying around unsold and unregistered. Only thing is, it isnt numbered?? but otherwise looks almost identical to my 98 and a mates 00 reg 916sps.
