Title: '98 Ducati 748L
Post by: WonderBoy on May 21, 2008, 01:38:48 PM
Anyone ever heard of this bike?  It's a limited edition, only 100 made, and sold exclusively by Neiman Marcus.  Anyone?  Buhler?

NM does a limited release vehicle every year for the holidays. Last year I beleive it was a 6 series BMW. There was a 748L on craigslist last year as well.

They are your basic 748 but they were silver in color. You see them occasionally on ebay motors too.

Silver, biposto, a few upgrades here and there.  A little kitschy but will retain some collector value.  I happen to love the silver ducatis (900ss FE for instance)

The FE SS looks great. I was talking to giannis about it at the 696 open house

Hey Rich, how's the SS doing?  Is it ready for HC?  Will it be there for the Sunday BBQ @ Alan's place?

took it over to Ryan's on tuesday to hang out and have a few complimentary beers   [beer]   bryant took it for a spin around the block and i think it met with his approval.  i'll be hanging out at b8's garage saturday starting early to help out with a chock install on his truck, and do a little bike-prep on both our bikes.  if all goes well i'll try to make it out to LYD's sunday.  i have pooch-watching responsibilities, though, so i may end up taking him to the park, since he's been basically in his kenel all week, and will be there most all of saturday   :-\

oh, and i have a set of PP's (thanks Scott!) and a new Pirelli rear...so i'm good on tires for now.  and ordered oil, filter, spark plugs, Dynacoils, and a new sealed Yuasa battery for her.  also have a bunch of parts from a part out of an SS (seat, clutch pack, and more!). 

also have my stop n go flat kit, and cycle pump!   [thumbsup]  there's some other stuff that i'll be tackling soon, too....so much to do.

They have a 748L at Ntx BMW (ducati) in Plano. #40/100. Neat, but no big performance upgrades, just a "limited" edition. Not worth it to me. A colector maybe. I know I'd love a 748 for the track, but that's not the one.

Yeah.  I was just surprised, I never knew one of these things existed.  It would be cool to have as a collector but I'm with you, it'd be mantlepiece decor, and not a rider.
