Why buy a rare bike such as this, that has clearly been kept in standard trim and loved by a single owner from new and then break it.....? I'll never understand this. Ever.....!
To make money... Out of interest there's a lot of speculation on price for these at the moment - and considering some peoples opinions on values you'll be hard pressed to profit by breaking it. What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?
He doesn’t want to discuss it here because he knows what most Ducatisti think of people who break special bikes, especially when they are in good, roadworthy/rideable condition – such as this example! So, what are these things worth? At a guess, even though it has high mileage I’d hesitate £6~9K depending upon mileage and history. What could he get for the parts? Engine Complete - 1.5k Airbox - 250 Wheels - 350 Exhaust/ECU - 900 Front Forks - 1000 Calipers front - 250 Caliper rear - 100 Discs - 100 Rear Shock - 500 Rear Subframe - 300 Main Frame - 700 Bodywork - 400 Tank - 250 Steering Damper - 100 So what’s that – just shy of 7k for the bits that actually have a value. Maybe he’d get around 5/600 for the remainder of the bits? That’s before you deduct the time involved or if he pays someone to do it for him. Hardly seems worth it if you ask me - imagine the joy the bike would’ve brought to a new owner. Shame!!
I would imagine he paid less then £4k sterling - we may find out, we may not. I know of some lucky fella who paid less than £2K for a 748SP this year.
Haha, math isn't your strongest point..... for example the R wheels, which are special, are gone for 900£ [emoji15]. I didn't put it up for discussion, so please.....
I'm sorry guys, a lot of neg behaviour here, too bad. If you're interested in some parts, please react via a private mail. I'm located in the Netherlands, so I'm not the OP buddy?!? @duke63 Original ducati performance front sprocket cover is 29£ incl shipping. @Bullitt and justass...., don't try to buy any parts from this bike, via PM....you're wasting mine and your own time [emoji3]
@nickmarieke I have no issue with "maths" as you call it, I can assure you of that!! Anyways, £900 for a set of 5-spoke Marchesini (Brembo manufactured) wheels that you can get on any number of 748/996/998 models... they are not that special other than for the fact that you think you'll get £900 for them!!!! The first street bike that Ducati supplied with "special wheels" was the 999R. I have no desire to buy anything from you, or from this bike!
I would like the left rear indicator bulb and for this I will offer you half a teaspoon of honey first class post.
