Do we know that's the engine that's in it? He said al the R bits had been removed except the frame and clocks, which means the engine has been changed?

Guys,guys @ the end of the day,if ure not buying it,it dosn't matter who built it,or where the bits came from does it,eh ?,i only did what a few of you should have done,in order to authenticate the bike,you do your homework,as i do,before handing over the hard earned,when buying any motor vehicle,most of it's common sense !
if you're not happy with your findings,you don't buy,& walk away,but in this case,the seller has informed us all,of what you're buying,& on the information found,he does appear to be telling the truth !!!
if you're buying it,then visually inspect the frame & chasis no,against the V5(log book) then against the info,i supplied,& thats all you can do,don'think,what if this,what if that,just don't buy it,job done !!

Personally if the donor parts came from a suspect source I'd be very worried - I hope the seller turns out to be genuine and can afford to give away what appears to be a few thousand pounds worth of profit.

i think it is reassuring that people on this site bring these things into the open for various reasons - we all get blinded sometimes when buying our dream bike (only once though!) but maybe if the dodgy people who are traders/sellers/parts people think it is going to be a bit harder to get away with it they will move away from Ducati's - as a victim of crime i would support any "sensible" method on making sure that our hard-earned treasures are kept safe - if you are genuine then no worries eh?

Does it mean that someones standard 999 has gone missing at some point to get all them parts.

Well said MisterPink, I thinks it's excellent that a bunch of well meaning guy's & girls who are passionate about motorcycles are willing to take the time to look into things that don't look quite right. As you say if it's genuine you got nothing to worry about, so well said again.
