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.

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

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
