Prices

[Nattyboy]

Popped in to Forza today for a chat with Martin over the MINT SP3 they have in at the moment (very tempted!!) and theyve got a lovely selection (even lovelier before Mark nabbed that tidy SP4!!!). Thought you might be interested to hear about prices;

SP3 - £7000
'94 Strada (penultimate model with black wheels/yellow supension hoop)- £5295
Latter style 851 - £4300 (I think)

All immaculate as youd expect from them !

Chatted about 888's in general and he commented how alot were just going into peoples collections and prices were looking good !

Looking good on our investments anyway lads !!

Now.... if I can just squeeze that SP3 in the garage :eureka::D (well if that greedy bugger beancounter can have a few toys then so can I...erm .. cant I wifey...:puzzled::lol:

Youd have to ask Beancounter that !!! But id guess that based on an asking price of £5295 on a tidy strada it was ticketed at £7-£8k...over to you BC ?..:lol:

Don't put it in the garage, Nat! Move the telly and get it in the sitting room, that resolves the space problem....

[Nattyboy]

:lol: Have you got a mobile number Gary so she can ring you to discuss your idea ..?? :o

Anyway..movement of the telly would mean no cbeebies for the kids...not an option..its the only thing that keeps the little buggers quiet !!

Nat, has Martin put his prices up 'cos the sun's come out ?

On the Forza website the 888 (actually a 93 L) is 4999 and the 851 is 3999. The SP3 is 6999.

You're about right on the SP4, it was almost exactly half way between 7k and 8k. ('Tidy' is a bit of an insult mate, it's very nearly immaculate, and it certainly will be when I've finished with it).

The question now is - Termi's or no ? (can you even still get them, Nat-meister ?)

By the way, if you're up this way again give me a shout, I'm only 10 miles from Silverstone.

[Nattyboy]

:lol:

You cant get the 'proper' 888 termis anymore (with the swept/longer outlets) but theres a plethora of aftermarket cans which do the job - but im guessing you want it spot on eh ?!!

Ive got sil motors on mine - see pic (better quality than termis IMO) with a change of decals !! They look fine mate..cost about £430 I think.

Hope to catch up over summer..ive got a mate in your neck of the woods with an 926 SP5 I need to catch up with too..!

Nat, the question I'm asking myself is whether to change the cans at all, or keep it completely standard.

Standard is winning at the moment !

(apart form the brembo radial master cylinder, but that's already on it, so it would be churlish to take it off !)

[Nattyboy]

You gotta have some loud cans mate IMO. The trick is (as im sure you know) to only mod things that can be put back to standard in a jiffy. No anodised clutch plates here eh ??!!:lol:

Nat

[beancounter]

Nat, the cans are the standard alloy but they have been "Bora'd" so are extremely loud indeed !

So Termi's / whatever would just be for looks.

[gary888]

BC. Take a look at

www.heimracing.de
Click on Ducati on the left side of the home page and go into original Ducati exhausts. There you will find them listing Termi end cans for the SP5 at the knock down price of 350 Euros down from 539 Euros.

I assume they will fit the SP4 Nat? :bouncy:

[weeveetwin]

Beancounter...

The standard cans on the SP4 were actually made by Termignoni - but don't bear the badge. My own bike has these original cans fitted, and it's a good deal louder than the carbon race cans fitted to my Strada!

Steve

[beancounter]

Thanks Gary !

Steve - yeah, mine are pretty loud too. Maybe I'll just stick some Termi stickers on them !

BC, I guess you got to the ducati name on the home page ok.
Click on "auspeffenlangen Ducati", when the page comes up, go to the centre of the page and click on the "original auspuffenlangen Ducati", which is printed in yellow type, 4th of 4 in a list. Scroll down to the Termis, after the 916 and monster stuff. Any probs come back to me.

Hi guys

Anyone read German? I'm wondering why the photo shows only one can, when the other photos show a pair? Is that the price for a pair?


Ah..! Don't answer that. Found out it's for only the one!!

[gary888]

Looks like it may just be the right hand side. I guess the only way to be sure would be to mail them and ask. Their english will be a lot better than my german

[yellow916]

Try copying the German text into

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Usually gives a pretty good translation.
