That's a '00 carbie 900 motor.

Good price, make sure the motor mounts are OK, the bike got crashed pretty hard.

Edgar only has one disc on the front.

The pics of the bike it came from show a single front rotor..  M900 wiht single rotor?

Obviously not the original motor.

The angle of the pod filters has me intrigued. They are pointing forward rather than up under the tank. Is there a side shot?

Don't split FCR's point in different directions than stock?

[koko64]

Yeah, that's right.  I thought I saw two pods facing forwards rather than up. Must be angled flange types turned downwards I guess.

my year 2000 M750 came with dual discs as standard fitting....

[MotoPsycho]

I'm curious to see like bills of lading or bill of origin to see where some of these bikes were delivered originally. I've seen it go both ways now as to year and number of discs. I saw a craigslist ad that was supposed to be '01 and had single and '00 that has double, they have to be for different markets or something, right ?

[jerryz]

My M750 was a UK model tghey all had dual front discs and oil cooler as standard in 2000.

Maybe USA market had a lot of old inventory ?  also its not unknown for ducati to throw bikes together from whatever they had in the parts bins especially when money was short in the older days ...and the compant was more Italian ( chaotic)  than it is now with Teutonic masters at the helm ..

[Rudemouthsky]

They were parts bin bikes, yeah, but certain things are still unicorns. There are M750's floating around with alloy swingarms, dry clutches, and even an occasional set of "S" forks from the factory. But they aren't common at least in the U.S. Dual disc pre 01 M750's are extremely rare. I've spent an absurd amount of time cruising the internet over the years looking at Monsters and the vast majority of them had  single disc. And every 2001 had dual. If it's a pre 01 M750 you can safely bet that it has one disc.

The 2000 bikes are the most bizarre tho. They are a weird hybrid of old and new, the frames are identical to the 01 except for the 10mm motor mounts but everything else is unique from the 90's models in that the seat and tank orientation are slightly different (same as the 01+) and the wiring harnesses are half 2001/half 99<. And even the parts diagram is completely off. 2000 was a weird year.

in aust we got euro spec bikes.  the 97 m750 were all single disc, but we got them plated as 01/98 build models.  you can tell by the old pantah style motor.  true 98 models and all following m750 had dual discs with the updated motors.  i saw some factory brochures with single disc 750 (for usa only?), but we never got them.  my 98 my m600/750 manual shows usa spec as single disc, euro as dual.

i've never seen an original dry clutch small block past the early 750ss.  they didn't exist.  they built bikes to specs that varied, finding the spec is the issue.

my 99 is a single disc and it doesnt appear to have ever had another disc on it
