  5. 500 built.

    Henk!!!
     
  6. 100 of these 888SPS/888SP4S where made,carbon tank,big radiator(no fan)...
    And then the next 500 where the SP4.
    This is why you can seen SP4’s with dahplaques where there is number on it over 500 altough only 500 where made.

    Henk!!!

  10. I don't think so, as everything is painted... very light side panels.
    Perhaps an expert can confirm.

  11. 1 of 20 produced by the factory for 1998 race season.
    The 748 Racing was loosely based on the 748sps homologation road bike, but were built by the Bologna factory using loads of parts from the early 916 racing parts catalog.
    Far from just a tricked up 748SPS these bikes have more in common with the more exotic 916 racing super bikes.
    This particular bike was supplied to a German dealer in November 1997 and raced by Klaus Mayerhofer in the German super sport championship.
    It then went through various hands eventually becoming a track bike in England.

    I made the purchase based on the expert advice of my esteemed Ducati colleague, Stuart.

  13. My wife made me move them out of the unfinished kitchen area, so I moved all the unused building materials in there and my bikes returned to the coach house.
    Now she has to look out on Kingspan and Ply rather than a feast of Ducati.
