Someone needs to cafe this decent 860

[Pinocchio]

The most unloved Ducati beveldrive twin, and probably the only one that, if built into a cafe racer, would not draw the scorn of purists:

Be sure to follow the video link halfway down in the seller's description. Listen to how nicely it starts and runs.

With clip-ons, a bum stop seat, and relaced rims, you would be a bike show contender at a RvM or AHRMA event.

Add mag wheels, an overbore kit, some big carbs, upswept megaphones, a bikini fairing, and ditch the starter and the metal fenders, and it could look and sound as cool (and start as poorly) as this:

Cool idea.  But it is a bit... plain currently.  Needs some stickers

It sold for $5200... At that price, I wouldn't have been able to afford any stickers! Man, even the ugly Duc-klings are selling at a premium.
