Yeah, it worries me that the seller didnt originally disclose this to me, only when I asked for frame and engine numbers did he get a guilty concience!
Even Veloce in Norwich were a bit cagey. When I originally asked if the bike was straight and if any work had been done on it, they said no. But then the seller spoke to them and said he would have to tell me, and I rang them back, and they were on the defensive. Hasn't put much confidence in Ducati dealers if they're all like Veloce!
