Comments from the seller

1989 Ducati 851 Superbike. A rare 89 Australian delivered single seat, aluminium tank and adjustable suspension model in excellent overall original condition, covering only 30,260km. In the 89 year. only 751 were made and I believe only 30 came to Australia. Fairings are undamaged and paint is in overall excellent condition. Wheels have original white paint and fitted with Bridgestone Battlax BT-016 tyres with 90% tread remaining. Bike rides beautifully and.was ridden ant least once a month and everything works as should. Starts first time and and shifts smoothly through all the gears. Original mufflers which have been polished. Recent work includes new fuel pump, fuel filter, battery, chain & sprockets. Well maintained and serviced regularly, coolant, oil, fluids, belt, valve clearances etc. These bikes have stunning looks and are a real head turner and will only continue to appreciate in value. Even though the 851's continued production till 92, the 89 single seat model is the most desirable. Basically a race bike with a registration plate! Ready to ride or just to look at in your man cave. You won't be disappointed.
