Its got 18k on the clock and a full service history. Afetr a 300 mile trip Involving 3 trains and a bus and a cab I picked my new toy up in Hull from a nice bloke who was thinning his collection of bikes to buy a Camper van (vw bus). He had 4 Ducatis and this was the first one he bought. He then got a 998 fe and a gt1000 and a sport classic. And a gsxr1000 L0 race/track bike. Anyways I digress. 8pm Hull South Yorkshire England 3.30 am Home Burntisland Scotland. 300 miles in the dark and wet but totally worth it The first 150 ish miles are Motorway so it was like a video game for the first 2 hours. Then I stopped cos my ass had gone numb. The last 15 miles had average speed cameras and a 50mph limit. after almost 2 hours at 80ish 50mph on a 996 in a straight line is painful.

They're just not comfortable enough. Congrats though, whatever you use it for. Title: Re: The 916 fund is has been emptied. Post by: ungeheuer on August 19, 2014, 04:58:04 AM weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee indeed [thumbsup]

The GT's are the fugly ones imho. But this guy obviously liked it enough to buy it. Title: Re: The 916 fund is has been emptied. Post by: weemonster on August 22, 2014, 05:19:02 AM It took me a 4 days. Or rather I managed to resist for 4 days.
But the modding ( which I told myself I wouldn't do) has begun. Some of you may remember I got a job lot of DPM Ducati Performance stuff I few years back.
