Good testament to owners and Ducati that a 16 year old bike can still look desirable, IMHO anyways !

When I had my first 851,12 years ago I did 10k miles in one year, have to say my service bill did come to over £1000. I went through
1 x sprag clutch,
2 X clutches,
1 x set cam belts,
2 x set of tyres,
2 x chain and sprockets,
Relapped valves & re-shimed,
Fuel pump,
Throttle positioning sensor.

And the biggest grin I've ever had...

I have a t8 strada with 40,000 miles on the clock, it is still in mint nick, and goes mega, even been on the track, no problem. just service them, and ride them hard, they love it.

It went for 1750 in the end. Good price I thought. They do hold their money !

Talking about Starships (well sort of). See some sad git bought the original Starship Enterprise model for 308,000 quid!
There's life Jim, but not as we know it.

Believe it or not it was an article on the front page of the bbc news website!
I can think of a few other things to do a third of a million spondoolies.
