I was sitting at work this morning and heard the familiar rumble of a Ducati coming down the road, so had a quick look out the window to see one of these.
Still the most desirable machine on the planet for me.

John Hackett at Ducati Coventry reckons they are the most sought after of Ducatis and he wishes he still had one.

About a year ago was the last time i saw one for sale.
You are better off keeping your eye on Ducati Sporting Club and ducatiforum.co.uk for sales or even asking about the specialist Ducati dealers.

The other one that is worth keeping an eye out for is a 916SPS which i am told is the most race-like of all the engines of that era. One sold for £16K last week though it did have a £10k engine blueprint about 8 years ago.

I used to pal around with some one that had one .... What was worse he could ride he had just finished competing in the hornet cup. He would come out of corners wheelie past me then disaper round the next corner.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.
