    Ok let's try this again. I listed this last fall but then pulled the ad and put the bike into storage before snow could strand it in my garage all winter. As much as I like having various Ducatis sitting around, it's time to list it again.

    Located near Ann Arbor, MI
    $3500

    The good:
    Ohlins shock
    Superbike forks with aftermarket top triple clamp
    944 kit
    FCR 39mm carbs
    New Michelin Power GP tires
    New Mosfet series style regulator (Shindigen or however it's spelled)
    EarthX battery
    Valves adjusted
    Belts changed
    Babes dig it


    The bad:
    NO TITLE
    Frame has had cracks repaired (before I bought it)
    Some moron (aka me) dropped the gas tank while installing it so it's no longer in great shape
    Front fairing mount is slightly tweaked
    Misc damage from various crashes thoughout it's life. It's been a track bike for a lot of years from what I can tell
    Bodywork is beat. See above.
    FCRs need to be set up, it's a pain to start it if it's been sitting for a while. I suspect accel pump issue?
    Suspension hasn't been serviced in who knows how long
    An oil leak I thought I fixed isn't fixed. That was the straw that broke me to be honest... It's not horrible but it's a leak.

    Misc details:
    Tires installed last spring, virtually unused
    Airbox removed, pod filters added
    Rear hugger is 3D printed and fits a 180mm tire
    Wheels were painted with 2K paint before tire changes
    Steel swingarm with spindles added
    "custom" rear stand included. (Home made, came with bike, modded to use with spindles)
    No key to start, flip the switch and it's ready to go.

    The story:
    4 years ago I bought this because I have a soft spot for neglected Ducatis. I thought I'd give it some TLC and use it 2-3 times per year. I still haven't ridden it at a track. I took it out for a test ride last year, the bike ran for about 1/4 mile then died. Turned out to be the wires to the fuel pump. I addressed that but haven't even started it since.

    I'm not interested in trades... I bought a brand spanking new Aprilia that I'll use for my occassional track day. Except I discovered today it's got the dreaded battery drain issue. So it wouldn't start. I swear, nothing I have works.

    NEWLY ADDED BONUS PARTS! Bike also comes with various spare parts. Mostly small stuff. No treasures, they came with the bike when I got it. Spare wheels IIRC? An axle or two? Probably a few things I can't even identify? Most of them are for this bike though. As far as I know. I'll add photos when I pull the bike back out of storage.

    I much prefer local pick up to any sort of shipping but will work with whatever needs to happen. Price is pretty firm, if I can't get this for it I'll put the shock on Super Light and shove this back into the corner until I get the urge to work on it again.

    Thanks for looking!
