Rob B might know, he's just up the road from there I think.

I like yellow, it looks really good on ducatis, but a yellow frame

Jools · 27-Oct-2006, 10:20

Not keen on the yellow frame either, but hey ho...each to their own.

Now, the write up on 851/888's in MCN had three readers bikes and one of those had a yellow frame. Surely it must be the same one? Although I would've thought that the seller might have put "As seen in MCN" in the ad.

Belts changed in 2000

This is good?????

Rob B · 27-Oct-2006, 19:59

Yep, I've seen it. Quite nice bike, too.

RJ, I think the engine rebuild was 2000.

Rgds,

High bars look interesting - some sort of straight clip-on perhaps?

Are the 851's meant to have the same type as the SS for the same year - an 'L' shaped affair?

Super clean bike - but I could not live with a red Ducati that had a BRIGHT yellow frame, sorry!

I went down to his house and had a quick look over it. The current owner bought it from a guy who had had it stored for a long time. Yes, I'd expect it'd need belts and some details changed to suit a new owners taste, but it's all there and you don't see many of these change over bikes (late bodywork 851s) about.

Also, it's got a good, rare exhaust. Go and haggle.

Rgds,

Rob

Rob. You have too much spare time methinks...Do you do any work at all??!!

Rob B · 28-Oct-2006, 16:00

Lynds,

This was weeks ago, when Steve had just dragged it back from Wales. I was having a look at some other bits.

Work? Well, at least some of the time.

Rgds, rob
