  1. Asking £11k which should be the cheapest out there despite the crazy low miles...

    Appreciate this is maybe a little preemptive but I'm conscious the summer is coming to a close and a new owner may have particular preferences on service items which I may be able accommodate while it is in for service now.

    Selling as I just won't use it for the foreseeable future. Mileage is about 4.5k but it is in for service at the moment so I don't have the exact mileage. All photos are archive but live photos can be posted once I get it back (if it hasn't already sold!)

    I've owned for 7 years and done almost no miles on it! Last 4 years it has been SORN and parked in my garage while I worked abroad. Bike was covered in ACF50, on paddock stands etc and so is in great condition despite being laid up. Currently undergoing recomissioning at a local Ducati specialist.


    Details...

    2005 with carbon fairings (only produced for one year)
    Few minor mods with original bits available
    A749R** private plate
    Plenty of history and receipts including original bill of sale
    Red key and code card present as well as black key


    Since owning it has always been a second (or third and sometimes fourth bike...) so I have rode it a handful of times on the road and done a couple of track days (I had cheap fairings so the carbon ones were in bubble wrap most of the time). Last trackday I did I had some fuelling issues but the current strip down revealed an old tank liner that was bubbling and some surface internal rust which seems common on these steel tanks. The tank will be resealed inside and resprayed outside as part of the current recommissioning.

    Tyres of your choice will be added at the asking price.

    A few fairings off photo should show the good condition...

  3. Very unusual to see one without a carbon exhaust cover!
     
  4. Especially with a grey one since it should have a black one...
     
  5. Yes, 2004...

  6. Good point.
     
  7. Hmmmm. Got me thinking now. It had a Leo Vince can on mostly so it could be in my box of original bits
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  8. First registered 2005 hence it's a 2005 749R but you are correct, the carbon models were only made the first year of production I believe.

  9. It’s semantic detail. Your bike is a pre face lift, 2004 Model Year that was as you state, first registered in 2005. Andy

  12. Yes. Those are the fairings but my nose cone has white accents like the tail.

    I bought it in 2012 and its had three prior owners. I can't guarantee anything is 100% original given I haven't owned it from new sorry.

    Once it's back from the overhaul I can post more photos though.
     
  13. ok thanks - i expect that date stamps inside the fairing panels would help establish if original albeit not prove per se
     
  14. Happy to check once it is back in my possession. From memory there are other generation 1 tells right? Sure I read somewhere it wasn't just the carbon Vs plastic fairings?
     
  15. Bike is sold. Thanks all
