Ducati 916

dst1 · 22-Jul-2005, 08:36

Looking to buy a 916, the bike has 19k on the clock with full service history.
What problems can I expect as far as engine work is concerned.
The bike is also in superb origional condition

Jap bike owners ignoring you when you park up.

How old is the bike?

Who has serviced it?

Belts and look at the thread under the name pants further down the page

My advise is just buy one - i was worried before I got my 748 but i love it even if it rattles, shakes, splutters every now and again - its a work of art - oh and don't forget to join the DSC you never know you might get to meet Carlos Checa

Cheers guys, the bike is on a P plate, I have no idea about service at this time.
I would take it up to Nelly at cornerspeed, the belts have just been changed, but I would do this job and oil change just to be safe.

Until you walk away, then they're all over it

And non bike riders taking close interest everywhere...

christ guys, I never expected any replies so soon, you should be working, not looking at Ducati web sites
Thinking about the weekend already and firing the old girl up, thats the bike and not the wife

Just another question, what about insurance cost, I am 47 years young and my current ST2 cost me about 265 fully comp
