Hello, I'm about to buy a 748R in the Netherlands. See my other post. Al the cosmetic parts and frame looks to be real R type, the only thing there is no R in the engine number. Engine # zdm748w4b*xxxxxx* Frame # zdmh300aa1bxxxxxx Can a 748R owner confirm that these frame and engine numbers are actually from a R type? Nick
Nick, Sorry, I don't have an R, but I'd suggest you contact Ducati directly. They're quick at getting back to you and can confirm if the bike is a matching numbers bike. If it is great, buy it!! If it's not, but has the engine from another R, buy it ;-)
So I dropped an email this morning to Ducati costumer service and guess what, just had a nice Italian lady "Paula" on the phone, and she confirmed that frame and engine number do match and are from a 748R. Me happy. Many thanks for everybody that helped me out!!!
