Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by NOODS X, Oct 11, 2020.

  1. Hi

    Can someone please advise on this 916 Monoposto ? 1997 ..

    i think it has to be a BiPo with a mono subframe?

    also the frame is black? should be gold... ?

    i know it’s from the “ All hail to the Sheffield” lot but is it too good to be true?

    As you know i’d luv one but?

    Appreciate your thoughts.. X

  2. Noods, are you after an original spec one or one to ride and have fun on? If the former it will cost you the purchase price again to restore it as there is barely anything that has not been faffed with and much of that will cost a lot to undo, one persons upgrade is another persons big mistake on a bike of this age and type. If for the latter, check the frame and engine numbers out and see if you can get some history - if the history is sketchy walk away. It looks like bitsa to me and I would avoid it but if the frame and engine match and the history is full and good it may be worth a punt.

  3. Loads wrong for a standard bike buyer, but all the stuff done is the right stuff. Looks clean
