Ducati Glasgow 998s

Anyone on here know anything about the 998s in Ducati Glasgow. It has good miles on it and the ads says very dry miles

. I wondered if anyone on here knew where it came from.
Thanks jim

good chance we will be visiting the grim north next week and can have a look at it for you if you want. genuine feedback provided.

I don't live far away From Glasgow. I really wanted to know if anyone knew about the bike. Did it belong to one careful owner who polished every sunday. Or are the fairings so fresh because it had track fairings on and has spent most of it's life on knockhill. That type of thing.

There was a real nice 996 or 8 sorry don't know if its the one you are looking at but whatever it was it was very, very clean and looked like it had never been out in rain, the previous owner obviously spent more time cleaning it than riding it I think.

Ask Martin or Keith and they'll give you a straight answer.

I was up on wednesday having a look at the desmo road bike. I also had a look athe 998s they had. I liked. I was still undecided about 999 and 998, but I really liked the 998. So today my wife phoned me at work and told me she had bought it for me.....link

Hi Rob,thanks for the offer, but I expect they will fit one before it is delivered. If not I will give you a shout....thanks.
