  1. afternoon all.
    after being away from Ducati for 11 years (1098s) I've just paid a deposit for this, i pick it up on Friday. i cant wait but I've just noticed the engine is silver and not black like all the others I've looked at. should i be concerned? thumbnail_IMG_9085.jpg

  2. Nice.
    Engine is correct colour. They usually have plastic covers over the cylinder housings, they have been removed which some folk do, personal preference
    Enjoy :upyeah:

  10. Welcome, looks good, I’ve not seen the clear clutch over on a 899 before! Looks like it’s had the engine side cover off a 1199 fitted (which is magnesium) then a clear clutch cover fitted, again no issue as such but quite a commitment from the previous owner.

    I’ve had 2x 899’s, a v2 and currently have a 959 so I always lean towards the smaller Panigales

  14. Welcome - Looks the nuts mate, esp with gold wheels & Termis

    I had a 959 but kinda wish I’d had the 899, I think it’s better looking.

    Maybe one day if I ever tire of my 1098S :)
