Are these Marchesini magnesium wheels ?
That tells a lot about originality vs value. It would be very interesting to know how much Tom @RTD agreed to pay for his recently acquired SP5,...
Good lord! This carrier literally grenaded. Did that happen on the track? Did the broken bits stay in place or did they fly off the wheel hub?...
@VanVan These are simply awesome…[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Honestly, I wouldn’t judge the whole concept just on this particular mishap. I never experienced this issue before on any of my other 90’s Ducatis...
@Andy Bee There are indeed independent rubber dampers that are inserted in the wheel hub itself (same wheels as 1989-1990 851s). They were all...
@VanVan Lighter wheels (Marvic streamline mags, for example), considerably « lightens » the 851. A rather costly option, but a real game changer,...
Ah! The Darmah has been put on the back burner this winter, due to other bikes taking priority. Firstly, at nearly 80.000km, my wife’s Monster 796...

You must leave everything on (discs, sprockets) as they will need them on to balance the wheels once the new tires are on. ;)
Man! Never seen a clutch wear off like that. Could it be steel basket vs aluminum friction plates?
Bevels are also more demanding in terms of maintenance.
I understand and agree with you on this. But interestingly enough, I personally think the perceived value of those 851/888 bikes is immensely...
I guess a deployed side stand related crash could be the cause of important crankcase damage…
What a poor auction… :astonished:

Interestingly enough, when I took my advanced rider course there, one of the instructors was a Law Enforcement Officer (FL Highway Patrol). He...
Distances are greater indeed, but traffic is definitely generally slower and calmer than in Europe, which is really nice. The flip side of this is...
Well, I do not know where you got your figures here, @Jez900ie , but I am only quoting what I was told upon arrival in the US in 2012 and was...
Interestingly enough, in the US, and in very specific contexts, Federal Law can override State Law. It’s the case for people serving in the Armed...
