This is not right with any bike, or car, so why should it be right just because it's a Ducati.

Sorry, don't want to be seen to be having a go, but, you should not expect anything this major from any bike and ducati are no different.

As said before, sounds like a basket case ... plenty out there, keep looking for one that has been treasured by an enthusiast.

Any advice is good advice so don't worry about offence mate, it's constructive critisisum... I was having second thoughts anyway.

I have built a 600ss (sold to SkidLids) form the ground up and have owned / built many different machines in the past and I found different 'quirks' with different manufactors, I just wanted to give the bike the bennefit of the dought first...

But as luck would have it, I've been offered another 748s, Hogson rep... Just waiting for pics and details to be mailed, so finger crossed for that...

So things to look out for would be my next question...

did this bike have white 3 spoke wheels, xerox painted on the side panels, and a set of road legal termi's, along with a damaged right hand side grip ?
If so I have some interesting news for you !

Yep... That's it... Sent you a PM mate.
