Nigel - the 800's as Twpd says, were only made for a short while - as also the 750ie's too (which were only available here for 9 months from Nov 01 to end July 02)

Ducati just carried on using the 750ie engines, but they were given bigger bores.

You goin shoppin?

They're a fair bit different. They weren't bored out - they were given longer strokes and hence different cranks. The 800 is/was a new engine. The 750's seem to deliver about 62-64bhp. My 800 is giving 77bhp without any pipes or filter mods yet so, I doubt that much extra comes from just 50cc. I'm looking forward to adding the performance bits - I have a feeling I can get 82-83bhp without much effort.
